The last time we were here was nearly 3 years ago & we had a great 2.5 hour grid:

Our plan was simple we had 1 go at this field, as it was a few days behind 'The Hill' field & the Winter Wheat was only just showing. At the start of the day, I called it our '1 hit wonder'. Honestly, we would have been happy with just 1 hammered, but that wasn't the day we ended up with. Although I say 'we', I got all the silver, although I pinched 2 off Cru'dads runs including the Harold I.
Cru'dad did help clear some deep iron though.
5.5 hrs:
1 Scrappy
2 Crotal Bells
Squashed Silver Thimble
16/17th C Spoon Bowl
Mostly 14th C Medieval Buckles
1st C AD Roman Brooch
6th C Saxon Brooch bit (Type I need)
10th-11th C Saxon/Viking Stirrup Terminal bit
Rare type of Roman Bell with openwork. (a first I think)
4 Modern Milled Silver Coins
Poor broken bit of A large Hammered Shilling?
Poor Penny of a York Mint (King unknown)
Henry VIII Durham Mint Penny
Harold I, Harefoot, 1035-1040 cut halfpenny, Beorn of York. I've never had this King before (not sure if its in the Rare or Very Rare bracket!), I think he is one of the last Viking Kings.
Here is a similar uncut version but not the same mint or moneyer:

We don't know how we do it but we followed our usual 1 day silver blank with this (if you don't count the silver plated shilling).
