A River Runs Through It

[Silver Searcher]

Decided to hit the road this afternoon to try and find somewere to search it's last Chance saloon now as I headed for the Motorway extentions on the Roman Road Dere Street
After driving up and down checking the places I searched last year, it was becoming apparent that there was nothing to do, although they are only halfway through the 15 mile stretch So I headed to the site were I found the Gold Stirrup Ring, I new the fields were all under crop, but There is a River That Runs Through it and the water levels are quite low
Well if you are expecting some Old finds forget it it was bloody hard work, but what a great place to spend a few hours detecting
Only modern finds I'm afraid, fishing weights, modern coinage and a lot of trash but a great time by a lovely place which given time and a bit more research into River detecting just might come up trumps with a nice find

I love the scenery shots, SS. I have been really enjoying the ones I've been taking the past few weeks.

Always been a believer in this. My research on Roman trackways in our area, proved they used some pretty steep routes.

I spoke with an old boy who used to river hunt & he told me the Romans would throw a coin in the water everytime they crossed a bridge (to the river gods, many were afraid of water). Also they would travel a certain distance every 100 years & you could work out where they ended up, if you knew the Roman River crossing points.

I know were they crossed on Dere Street, and it's easily detectable
