Hours Detecting: Me 215hrs, Cru'Dad 115.25 hrs, Grand Total = 330.25hrs

Firstly last year is our final 'Cru'Team' Totals dues to Cru'Dad moving closer to my Brother & Grandkids. We have had an excellent run & I've managed to secure the continuation of my detecting by replacing him with a new 'younger' driver & Detectorist. This new partner is someone I trust to follow our ethics & keen to learn from my experience, so that our well developed methods are passed on to the next Gen.

Anyways, last year was a fairly low hour total but we did quite well in the Roman Silver Cat.

Below are some of the highlights:

Thanks for sharing your results again this year.

Is that a stone axe head?

BennyV · 2025-01-12T07:09:28-0600

What do you think the items are in pictures number 2 & 7.

tamrock · 2025-01-12T07:10:11-0600

Where did the majority of gold and silver mined that produced the coins your finding come from?. I've thought at times the tombs of Egypt they uncover that were found to have been looted probably a thousand years before had gold recovered that was later repurposed into gold used in coins throughout the European world. Also I see one Neolithic artifact. Have you found other items related to that era? Well I wish you luck on finding more in this coming year and thanks for showing us all that you find in all the previous years. You are a metal detecting maestro

We did have some Gold Mines in Wales & Scotland, but in the Iron Age (Celtic) we probably traded with the Romans to get Gold. In the Roman pereiod & bejound they would have scrapped the old coins for recoinage etc..
