What an outstanding day I had 
Spent 8.5 hours on two Roman Sites which are very close to a 3rd, we started these sites only last year & named one of them the 'Roman Brooch Field or Brooch Field' after finding so many in 1 area/field. We had a memorable day where we had 13 in one day 
& the banner Horse & Rider came from this field

We spend the first 2hrs 45mins finishing the field we started last week where we got 39 Roman Bronze Coins (best 1 day total this year) Then we moved to the Brooch Field.
40 Bronze Roman Coins (39 to me, 1 to Dad)
1 Debased Roman Silver (plus Dad got a small piece of a Roman Silver, not pictured)
Roman Spoon Bowl
Base of a Roman Box Seal
Poor Hammered Coin
6 Roman Fibula (1 poor disc type) - All fell to the XP
The small one has a pin, which is still springy & if I were brave enough I think I could still use it
Some nice Album quality coins including a Rare Silver washed bronze coin - still researching as it very unusual.
Apart from 2 Roman Coins (take note those with a Cortes ), Dad's only other find was the best of the day in my opinion. The story goes;
Dad had to leave to sort out some family business for 1.5 hours, as he arrived back, I was GPSing a small fragment of a Roman Folding Knife. When Dad arrived I told him about it & said it was the Hound & Hare type (never had a whole one). About 5 minutes into his first run he dug a signal & shouted over that he had something good, but wasn't sure what When I looked at it I could believe it, it was the other part to my recent find. We have GPSed them both & I'm waiting to see what distance they travelled. The break has healed a long time ago & might be the reason it was chucked 
This is the sort of day that we like
