Cru'Dad's latest Intelligence gathering...
The team continues to gather likely targets. Land-mag did his fine job in researching Google Earth & gaining permission. Dad was sent out for a scout after yesterdays Wheat harvesting. Bad conditions for his detector, but we can get a feel for the potential. Spent 2.5 hours all over the ancient looking crop mark & did manage 2 Roman scrappies but they weren't on the main enclosure & were on a less likely spot but still near a weak response. I'm not giving up on this one, its a classic hill spot & I'm sure the conditions are hidding more goodies & at least 2 Roman Coins indicates we are close...
He then moved to our 1st Fav Field (lightly ploughed) for awhile & did very well, with a hammered Lizzy halfgroat Plus a bonus Tudor Buckle. We have really hit this hard over the years so it encourages me to try again in the near future.
Good intel, I can use to start the clean up later
