I have seriously been thinking about making a trip there and now especially after seeing finds like that. Would be cool to find enough to pay for the trip, although I wouldn't sell anything that I found.
 

As usual you get the facts wrong, I accused Ron of nothing.

After reflection I agree He didn't accuse Ron of anything

However Nice finds Ron :thumbsup:

& I tend to believe if they were planting , they would be planting
lots of newer stuff

Great finds by a great guy - I was in Colchester back in 2011 while you were there as well. I got a nice Saxon Sceat on my very first morning. Though I was a newcomer and you had so many great finds and experience, you shook my hand & gave me a warm congrats! All the veterans who were hunting at Colchester did the same. That was one of the best parts of the trip - digging with a great group of people. AWESOME JOB ON THE STATER!!!

Pictures as promised. Lizzie shilling, lizzie 2 pence and willie III 6 pence

I've never had a Lizzy Shilling, Dad has had 1 nice one but that was years ago. At least yours has no clipping & the plough was kind.
 

Save some for me. Bags are packed!!!
 

Banner no brainer I would think.
