Dad's Roman Silver Field...
Ever since Dad fluked out a Roman Silver from the Wheat stubble whilst exploring new crop marks, we have been waiting for better conditions. Today we got the OK to search a perfectly flat & drilled field
It started well & ended well but the 4 hours in the middle were a slog of nothing, which is puzzling as it was directly over the crop marks. All the coins came from 1 edge, not close to the main enclosures, as there was no pottery I am now thinking Bronze Age
6.5 Hours (13 man hours)
25 Roman Bronze Coin (2nd best 1 day total this year)
1 Roman Silver (sadly very debased)
1 Cut Hammered of Henry III (1247-72)
Ting fragment of Roman Child's Ring
Part of a Roman Locking Mechanism
Medicine weight
Jetton
Nice Tudor Button
Raw Graphite (a first)
Good day but not quite the result we hoped for
