Winter Stubble Field - Day 9 & Bean Field Day 7......

Cold and misty all day. The team is back together this weekend & we spent 1 hour on the Stubble Field with just a scrappy roman & possible Medieval Iron arrowhead

Then switched to the Bean Field for 3 hours with only 4 scrappy romans & odds & sods.

This has been one of our worst days in awhile but we were due one after my lucky Bday find.

On the positive side we broken the 450 mark with the Roman Bronze Coin count. Still looking for just 1 more hammered to break last years total

Hello,
Your finds are always amazing! As a coin collector, I am interested in the Roman coins you and your Dad locate. It's all in location, location, and location, plus a great deal of hard work that you men put
into finding the resting places of those fantastic ancients. The Geta denarius was the "star of the show" this year, but all of the Romans are very nice finds. Great job, and best of luck with your future hunts!
Phil

Great to hear that you two are out again hunting, although yes the weather is bad, and does not appear to want to get better. Nice that you have almost reached you hammered count! Pity that the finds were not so spectacular but you can't win every time!

The arrowhead might be a drill bit for a brace type hand cranked drill. They had a tapered four sided head that fit into the chuck.

I think you might be right (although are they normally iron / steel?). I wasn't convinced it was a arrowhead although I have handled very similar ones.

Its not over until the stubble field is completely covered, however bad it gets. The bean field we only need to cover the bottom third. We need to complete this in time to hand over the maps to the Archies before they leave on the 12 Dec 08.

Then my mind might wander elsewhere.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I know its a little twisted to say its our worst day in awhile (true statement), when years ago this would have seemed like a great day. However, as the two of us were hunting today on what can be good fields, we were expecting a little better. Still not a bad thing, as sticking to system will always bring results evenually. Theres always tomorrow

That sure could be the case...
