Winter Stubble Field - Day 3.............ID UPDATE

[CRUSADER]

Spent 2.5 hours on my own until Dad joined me for 1.5 hours. The Archies have about 6 trenches open in this field. As promised I stayed away from them & continued my gridding. Dad doesn't like this field much, but during tough times I keep the faith & put my head down until the job is done. ie. keep going until the field is covered, even if not much is happening. Our efforts paid off toward the end of the hunt:

39th Hammered silver this year. (equal to last years total) - Edward I Penny 1272-1307
Fire damaged Silver Roman Denarius (will ID later), our 12th this year. Great total but its been the year of the ugly's.
UPDATE:
Denarius of Domitian AD81-96
IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM PMTRP
Rev: Minerva, IMPXXII COS X VII CENS PPP
Quite a rare coin.

New variant of 15th century Buckle
Victorian Royal Artillery Button
5 scrappies

A very pleasing day, to get a hammered & Roman Silver in the same day, but Shaun7 can tell you about that one
The archies have done us a big favour by doing a Winter dig, otherwise we would have no land to do except maybe the odd bit of grass.

Denarius looks like Dominitian AD81-96. This would be our first silver of this Emperor. Full ID later, I'm off out.

is that anything like getting a roman silver, a roman brooch(right next to me) and a silver celtic?
i am now torn between the two as favourite coin(hammered or roman silver)! i know yours would be the roman but i have wanted a hammered coin for so long.....is that odd

Hi Cru, nice finds for a few hours!, but who found what? I guess you got the two silver?

I will be looking forward to Shaun's post, will look for it. I was away for a few days, searched in the daytime but didn't find much (I think, still have to look carefully in the finds pouch). The soil in the area was peat and sand, and most of the time the finds are in poor shape. I did found about 100 or more bronze military bullets thoughout the low woodland, but it was very irritating to dig them, they gave such a good signal. Most were lost bullets, not even been fired yet. After a while I had to ignore those signals, there were just too many of them, so I hope I didn't miss too much...

If I was you I would continue looking for new lands a bit away from your area.... Maybe you will find another great field...
