First barley is cut here and fields are grubbed. Went out today to look if one of our roman sites is ready to hunt. We found only one, but one with good finds in the past. I wasn't disappointed today. It's a low trash field because it's detected since years. We spent 5hrs detecting, the farmer drove by checking who's on his field, he waved and wished good luck. 
4 roman coins turned up with one silver. I absolute love this Denarius because of the history behind. Augustus was the first roman emperor. Roman Republic ended with his father Julius Caesar. He lived around the time of Christ's birth, was named in the Bible, gave the month August his name and the find was made almost exact 2001 years after his death in august 14 ad.
Roman Empire 2 b.C. - 4 a.D.
Obverse: CAESAR AVGVSTVS DIVI F PATER PATRIAE. Laureate head at right.
Reverse: (AVGV)STI F COS DESIG PRINC IVVENT, C L CAESARES below, Gaius and Lucius standing front, each with a hand resting on a round shield and a spear; in field above, a lituus right and simpulum left.
A better Follis of Constantinus turned up also. Trier mint 316 ad. Another great find was an Amphora handle frag with 2" diameter, making it the biggest handle i've ever found. Must been a huge thing!
