This Weekend...

[CRUSADER]

Continued the Roman Site we started on the previous Saturday (one previously called 'the sugarbeet field).
Its the 3rd year we have done this site; year 1 - 58 Roman Bronze Coins, year 2 over 100, this year over 250

After 6 hours of smashing frozen lumps of clay on the up-side-down spade we finished with 55 Roman Bronze Coins & 2 Roman Silver (although 1 very debased Billion Ant.). This actually takes us over 1000 Roman Bronze this year & 22 Roman Silver - the silver count is a new record year. The bronze is some way of the 1193 we had last year, but 1000 is a good result so far.

Part of a Roman Folding Knife etc..

With how uneven the soil was, I was pleased to pick out some tiny Roman Coins, normally we would not attempt these types of fields. (I surprised myself with how well we did)

Nice Roman coins! I see you got some snow but that amount doesn't count, LOL. HH, Mike

The snow is not an issue, its the fact it melted the previous day & then froze the ground solid.

I really like the US One Cent...only kidding but I'm glad you included it since I thought your roman coins were a little larger then they actually are. Congrats on the record silver year...I wish you many more. Happy hunting.

Thanks, pleased with the Roman Silver but hammered are 30% down on last year & no Gold Coins but plenty of memorable finds More importantly with Land-Mags help with have confirmed many new Roman/Celtic sites which will take years to unpick.

I think the 1 cent does demonstrate the powers of the 11" coil in less than perfect conditions

Great looking finds Cru & Dad!
Over here when the ground starts to freeze, I use some
of my wife's meat loaf to help break up the frozen chunks!
