Shaun7 & I camped from thursday night until Sunday morning, but only detecting Friday & Saturday.
It was an interesting experience, about 400 detectorist spreading across the fields like ants. Within 1-2 hours the fields were covered & no mud without a foot print.
Plenty of land to do, but it was very poor land with little activity, almost definately no early cultivation on the fields, probably just parkland.
Although we didn't do so well as we could on our own land it was a nice social to met up with the 'Northern Lads'
SS, shocked me by presenting me with his recently found arrow head which is now pride of place with my other flints in a lit cabinet. THANKS SS
The finds pictured are both days:
10 Roman Bronzes
Few buttons
few bits....
Best find was a little better than expected (although it was dug broken & later glued).
Its a plated forgery of Augustus 2BC-13AD. Had it been real & complete, it would be £1000 or more coin. So a copy of a rare coin, but also turns out to be my oldest Roman coin find. (Dad having older 48BC) - the other side is not worth a photo, its a mess. The bonus was this is our 15th Roman Silver of the year, which mets our target set at the beginning of the year. This was a last target to achieve, so we are still steaming ahead for an outstanding year
Fingers crossed for Robfinds who we left on the field today
