:hello:

Went back to the Potato field yesterday, and as expected the field had been ploughed and sown :-\ it had also been raining very heavy and the farmer hadn't had the time to roll the field.
We started off on a sticky wet field, and we both headed to were the Edward111 Hoard was found, it keeps throwing the odd coin out and today was no exception, Michael getting 2 in the first two digs in a line :o but as quickly as they came, they disappeared again :icon_scratch: probably the soil is not compact enough...maybe later on more will come :dontknow:

I headed of to the outher end of the field and decided to grid the area that produces Roman finds, I found one scrappy Roman, but 2 Hammered silvers :headbang: one a small Edward1st half penny, and the outher a Edward111 half groat(bit far up the field to be connected with the hoard)
I also found a piece of early Glass(possibly from a window) I'm not quite sure of what period :dontknow: could be Roman, or Medieval, there was once a Church nearby that dated to the Norman period, could be from there :dontknow:

Nice going SS :icon_thumleft:, I love the half groat but the gaming token/counterfeit coin is my favourite. At least you are getting out, I've got to wait a few more days/weeks till I can go out again, but they are fields I haven't detected before so it should be interesting and hopefully worth the wait :laughing7:.
