What a week! Those weekly totals are just mind blowing. Going back to your normal schedule will be hard, especially when you know there are more goodies out there just waiting for you!

Which makes that hammered coin even more special. Really well found that one.

Now im really impressed by a Scottish hammy.
I've only ever found one and a half Scottish hammered's and I'm only a hundred miles away rather than thousands.

Sorry my confusion with requoting.
So you're well into "Coritani" land's. Wow that tribe takes some heat in the Welsh triads for being unpatriotic first aiding the Romans during their invasion and then aiding the Germanic tribes during the Anglo Saxon conquest. Though the triads do claim theu where themselves Germanic in origin.
Great area to detect though. I bet you have finds spanning all ages.

You won't find any Saxon stuff around those parts. Youd need to travel further south for Saxons. They where Anglians that settled that region. They're - i mean the Anglo Saxons - actual impact onnthe Genetics in England arent as profound as people assume. There has never been any archaeological evidence for the Anglo Saxons exterminating the Britons and DNA studies show that the average Englishman has 68% of his DNA directly from the first post glacial Atlantic settlers who came up from Iberia along Europe's west coast as the ice melted. Which shows a continuation of.population that is actually unmatched anywhere else on earth. When people call Apaches and Comanches "Natives" and then call us Britons "a nation of immigrants" those people are an actual joke.
