2 More Roman Sites...

[CRUSADER]

Dad & I spent 4 hours checking the limits (scatter) of a Roman site. Earlier this year we had found a couple of scrappies much lower down the hill than the main scatter, so we wanted to make sure there wasn't any finds we were missing. We had no finds lower down so the sites limits are now confirmed. It was worth gridding in the already done (twice) area as we added a few bits including a Roman Bracelet fragment & very rare Saxon Small-Long Brooch Variant - 6th C AD!

Picture 1 is the 4 hours on the first site - minus the 8 Roman Coins (Dad is cleaning & recording them & pictures will be added tomorrow)
Picture 2 is only 2 hours on a nearby Roman Site that we are now surer than ever was an area of light industry - metal working & recycling. Guess how many Roman Coins in 2 hours? (picture added tomorrow) Dad got a 1st C AD Lead Ring, I never knew they did this type in Lead, we have had a few silver ones Doing searches on the PAS & UKDFD only came up with about 5 examples (possible Roman Lead Rings, but not this style).
We had some bad intel from our Northern Terrorities team member (Land-Mag) who said it was rough ploughed & it was as flat as a pancake. Land-mag made a rare appearance & more importantly a much rarer find than Dad & I.

Picture 2 has a broken type of Medieval Buckle I have never seen.
Roman Pinhead
1/2 or broken Roman Oval plate brooch with other metal lumps melted onto it.
I had about 10 pieces of Roman bronze workings (blobs)

Very nice finds Cru, love the amount of research you and your father do for your sites!
I like the flat button, the Victoria Penny and this piece!

That piece had me scratching my head in the field. Not seen one like it, its not confirmed yet, but I'm 90% sure its a large & unusual Medieval Buckle.

Too bad it wasn't complete eh. The plows are never kind to metal, horse drawn or diesel! Just got back from 3 hours in the fields this morning with nothing to show for my efforts. Hope you had better luck today than I did!

Howdy CRU,

Wonderful recoveries, sir, as per usual. Not knowing the size of that piece, I thought Torc, when I first saw it...

Winner with the closest

Cool number, just wondering about the brown jobbie in the photo, is it a silver under the horn crust?

No, its what happens to some bronze coins that are in wet conditions (spring site) - it picks up the nearby iron.
