The plan was to get out early & beat the worst of the sun & complete Bag Seal City.
It took us 2 hrs 45 mins to complete the barley stubble site getting:
11 Roman Bronzes (1 OK example)
WWI Victory Medal
Roman Silver clipped Siliqua of Honorius
After lunch I wanted to spend a little time on the edge of the Field of 500 (our best Roman Site), because it was deep ploughed last year & this edge was unworkable. Spent only 1 hr 45 minutes & had:
20 Roman Bronze Coins (1 OK example)
Hammered Lizzy 3 Pence 1575
Strange story - In the middle of the week I got chatting to the grave digger who prepared the ground ready for the interment of my Nan. He over heard us & it turns out he metal detects (I think we blow him away a little with our stories, and he showed us his first Roman Brooch, which I then IDed as Celtic). He showed me a couple of pictures; a medieval seal, Lizzy 6 Pence, & a WWI Medal. I stated the medal was a good find & Dad & I had never had one. Until my very next trip today!
(although his was the silver medal of the set)
Now reached 60 Hammered for the year, which was the target. So a little time to spare.....
