Could I wait for my 2 days off, could I bowlegs. I left work early today to start my holiday :thumbsup:

Dad had tipped me off where the Saxon Sword Pommel had come from & where I should start detecting. 1st rule always ignore your Dad's advice, they know nothing :thumbsup: I started where my gut told me too!
First run I got a roman coin & on that same run I got the best roman brooch I have ever had;

2nd Century import from Gaul (France). Sea Monster called a Hippocampus. The head of a horse & the tail of a fish. The pin still moves. Its a very rare brooch in amazing condition. I can't explain how happy I am with it.

I had 7 roman coins all with some detail in 2.5 hours by myself!

Is it going to be a good day tomorrow?, more importantly will I sleep!!

Let's blame Duane.

Thank you Duane. I would probably have missed that Hippocampus had you not resurrected this great post.

Large shake of the sea serpent tree to CRU!

Another great memory, I've never come close to finding even a piece of another one. It is a rare complete example (other than the enamel).

Ever since joining Tnet I have posted every hunt however good or gooder..:thumbsup:
 

Hey CRU & CRU family,

Thanksgiving greetings. You have had some decidedly "gooder" hunts. Thanks for sharing with us.

I cannot remember you ever having a pull tab bonanza, though…
