Timing is everything

[Westfront]

We went to a roman site to look if the farmer has ploughed to be the first this year... We arrived right on time!

On the part not ploughed my buddy eyeballed this beautiful spout.

We did four hours gridding both the ploughed and the perfectly flat part of the field. The soft ground made us sweat in just above freezing with strong wind.
Thats the trash...the usual driving band frags, bullets, shotgun bases.

Buttons of the day

Miscellaneous stuff, again one of these teeny three prong forks i found one a couple weeks ago plus another small fork.

Modern coins and an eaten up jeton.

Roman jug shard, belt stiffener and small childs ring

Roman coins

And my find of the day. One big scythestone, about 12" long and not broken all the years in the ground. Not that old, maybe the Great grandparents of the farmer had lost this one. I will return this for his collection. He has a great mancave with lots of farm and family related stuff.

Thanks for looking!

It’s a miracle to find that scythestone unbroken. Nice Roman. Hope you get back out before the field gets drilled
