WOW Field Limits Mapped...

[CRUSADER]

7.5 hours solo hunt, took me 6 hours to check all the limits of the site.

32 Roman Bronze Coins
1 Roman plated Silver
Celtic Silver Unit - Iceni Tride (Ecen type) 1st Century AD. My first Celtic Silver this year 8)
2 Roman Fibula
1697 William III Sixpence - Bristol Mint - I need
2 Livery Buttons
Part of a Celtic Toggle
Part of a Bronze Age
Simple Roman Ring

Spent 1.5 hours in the next door field & got 17 of the 32 Roman Bronzes, still plenty to do, but will have to wait until next year I also got what I think to be a simple Saxon Wrist Clasp (now confirmed ), thin metal punched from the reverse to create a decor

So might have done the full set, other than Medieval - Bronze Age/Iron Age/Roman/Saxon/Modern

Congrats for the Celtic Silver Unit !!

Thanks.

As it happens the silver plated Roman silver is an unknown type. I never use the expression unique, but its unrecorded.

Could be a forgery of the Roman period , a good esthetic quality but ... for me these coins are much more interesting than the original. Here we have many counterfeits of time.

we have many early counterfeits, but no late ones like this one, plus it copies a reverse type that is unknown. Many things don't add up, but no-one is interested in these coins in the UK, so no experts to ask.

If U.K are too obsessed with hammered and Celtic ... Here we have many collectors of coins under the Roman Empire, is the most collectible coins ,myself that I started collecting a Roman coins and did not value the hammered.
Tourists visiting my city always buy Roman coins in the Sunday market.
but I have a doubt .... I can not see either the name of the Emperor of its currency in order to investigate.

I reviewed all my catalogs of roman coins ,my collection including low empires and CoinArchive.com and I find no coin with VOT X /MULT X. have two possibilities:
1: The coin is a fake from Roman times (is that allowed these currencies did not have enough in circulation)
2. The coin is very rare and official.

I will place in the forums numismatics in Spain, I hope that some specialists say something.

Greetings!

I have a question ? for me to understand better just how there is so many Roman artifacts in the ground over there it seems endless , just how long did the Romans have rule in Britain thousands of years ? not counting the Celts Saxons and Vikings , i always asked myself how can so many coins and whatever be there Either there was ten of thousands of Romans over time or they were very careless with there goods i can understand losing your belongings during the heat of battle but dam that is a lot of coins , iam sure every week or month someone today finds a Roman coin never seen before. And your finds are great again good hunt

Crusader, have you given thought to a fly over near areas you like to hunt? I know around near me a 1 hour flight is maybe a couple hundred dollars. Given the drought conditions you have been experiencing over there it may help outline a few of the areas you are interested in. And if you can spread the cost over a few people it might really be worth it. Not like you don't do well enough from the ground, but maybe a bird's eye view might be better.

They ruled for nearly 400 years, think how many 1 cents you get in a park after only 100 years.

Land-Mag had planned to do a fly over with picture taking, but we were just too busy & missed the opportunity. Might do it another year.

Nice digs man, your posts always amaze me. What's the item in the lower left of the bottom photo, with the two holes?

for me its a really rare find, its a circa 8th century Saxon Wrist Clasp. The holes were where it was sewn on & the other half of the piece had a hook which attached to the oblong hole (slightly broken).

Awesome saves brother. You need to start doing some videos.
