Finished Cow Field.....I found ZERO..........& a Roman key handle

First picture is my zero...

We finished the 1.5 acre Cow field in 4 hours (8 man hours). Dad took some convincing to continue with this field but I like things done until the end. Glad I did as towards the far end a got a good signal at 3inches which turn out to be a ROMAN BRONZE KEY HANDLE (second one ever but the best by far).

Finds also included;

GR WWI era Button
Victorian Navy Officers Button
Triumph Herald keys (might be the old man's that owns the field!)
Boer War lead head soldier
Silver 1902 3 pence
Silver hallmarked shield
1902 Aluminium medallion

To say I was happy with the key is an understatement.

Hey Crusader,

I have a question for you. I plan on coming to England on my 25th Anniversary which is in less then 5 years and I want to do some detecting. Do you need a license to detect? I know you need to have Archie check out your items first. How do you go about finding these Archies to show them your finds? Can you detect around the Thames river? Any information you can give me would be very appreciated. Thank you and I enjoy looking at your finds. Take care!

Firstly you have to understand the Treasure Act. This basically says that anything with 10% or more gold or silver content more than 300 years old has to be handed in within 14 days of finding it. Not including single gold or silver coins. All else you can keep without showing anyone, as long as you have permission from the land owner. In the case of the Thames Foreshore your need a permit. See link below & read all the comments & links:

Now more importantly you can not take any items dug that are over 50 years old without an export licience from the Department of Sports, Media & Culture. To help you do this you will need to contact the local Find Liason Officer (FLO) who should help you apply for the liciences.

All of this is not that simple, that is why people pay a lot for UK detecting holidays as they administer all this for you.

I would not attempt to take stuff home in your lugguage as if you are carrying a detector that will give the game away!

Thank you for the information. I guess I may have to invest in one of those hunts. Thanks again!

I personally would do all the research on the web & save your money. The treasure act & export rules are all on the web. So are club sites etc..

Nice Finds Crusader. Anything Roman is a nice find, we across the pond would love to be able to dig some Roman coins and relics
