Tough Going on the Villa

Silver Searcher · Oct 2, 2010

Our Roman Villa field has been deep ploughed

this is the first time it's been ploughed in two years but it's not being kind to us $:-\$ To trips in perfect conditions has seen us struggling, no Roman Silver have shown and not that many Bronzes :dontknow:

The Hammered counts up to 9 in two visits, which isn't bad. The first Hammered showed today at 2.15pm and by the end of play 4 were in the bag :headbang:

Best find of the day turned out to be a Silver Cross which I think is Medieval :-X

what's unusually about this cross is it has a figure on the back as well :icon_scratch:

never seen this before :dontknow:

The afternoon was certainly the best part of the day, I had another Silver find...a Brooch, think this probably Victorian or Edwardian, although there are no makers marks :icon_scratch:

a unusual Bronze Brooch with what looks like a little enameling left, and a Silvered back :icon_scratch:

That crucifix is really cool :icon_thumleft:

Is it silver? Looks to be casted but the hole at the top looks machined (in the photos). Very interesting, would have made my day for sure. Even though the conditions are perfect and it's slow going . . Congrats on some nice finds so far!

Yes it is Silver 8) it's amazing how they did the holes so accurately back in those times...but they did
