Land-Mag. negotiated a 4 day extention ( :hello2: ) on the already drilled Rape Seed which recently went straight onto the roughed stubble. (I didn't think it likely, as we were previously told - 'no detecting after drilling')
They had not yet rolled it, so it was far from perfect but we needed to take every opportunity. These coins came from the area I had already covered & could only find 7 Roman coins on both outings (due to high stubble).

Over the next few days (transport allowing, as Dad is away), I hope to grid into a fresh area of better coins :thumbsup:

I did 3 hours & Dad only 1.5 hours, but of the 3 coins he had, he managed the best one of the evening :laughing9: Typical. I did get an album coin of Gallienus - Centaur with bow reverse, only had 1 of these in the past :)

Strangely, I stopped to shout to Dad & Land-Mag 'where is the silver in here' (meaning Roman), my next swing & before I moved, I dug a blank silver sixpence (probably William III) :laughing7: close :P

He only got the best one, the other 2 were scrappy.

I'm glad as well, this was our no.1 target although we are beginning to think, some of the other nearby sites might produce the quality, plenty of land we need to cover :-\
 

this very well but .... only Roman coins ?
should hunt more saxon gold coins . :laughing9:

I would never try to hunt Saxon Gold :notworthy: , (if it happens, it will be out of the blue) we were aiming for Celtic Silver/Gold, but it doesn't want to show its face ::)

Saxon gold coins are boring after a while :-\

I much prefer plough blades and horse shoes :laughing7:

That's the trouble with silvers. They are getting scrappy. Congrats on a album quality Roman :hello2:
