1st dig with the GMP

[baldbenny]

got out this morning to a small ploughed field in dorset my only good site not a lot for the first hour but then a high tone bleep and just under the topsoil was a roman broach not cleaned it yet so looks a bit rough but a great start with the GMP

Well, that answers SS & my statement about your pasture land.(sorry re-read it, you tried a ploughed field instead of the pasture you stated on the Gen Dis forum )If you were trying my settings, then its the small whispers you need to listen for for those deep 12 inch finds.

PS. Thats a 1st C AD type, so if lucky you may have Celtic activity before the Romans.

PS. All our good sites have lots of lead, if this was you first dig, it would suggest to me your some distance from the Roman Site, so you may need to move fields to find the main activity. Also check googlearth.

Congrats.
I wish we had ancient stuff like that to find here.
Most of our REALLY old stuff is made of stone.
