We went back to the Roman site we started last week. It took a while to get a picture of the field. Looks like we stumbled over the outskirts first and found the main area later. Clearly indicated by nails, lead and bigger stones used for the foundation of a stone building. And, almost forseeable, this area was hunted before with not much left. Only tiny pieces of lead were under the coil.
Today we went back to the area where we think the wood framed buildings with thatched roof once stood and gridded through the iron. Deus time. And the detector did good! Sniffed out a couple small coins and more brooches. The medieval one (ca. 10th-11th C.) had three tiny silver balls inserted in the middle which fell out when cleaning. One escaped through the sink, so only two shown in the picture. Sorry, no pics of lead and WWII trash today. It went dark and i don't wanted to carry that stuff inside, wife had cleaned everything up today.... :tongue3:

NEEET FINDS FOR THE CURIOUS EYES,
 

Very nice collection of finds. I can't get over how small those coins are. You get extra points for sniffing them out.
 

Killer hunt in my book, congratulations! :notworthy:
 

Shame it had been done fairly well, but 10 coins is a good days result. I think you're going to have to do more of the edges or small annexes that have been missed.
 

Those Romans are awesome!! Congrats and HH
 

Great finds and a great post, love that the Deus didn't disappoint you either!

I don't complain, 10 coins is a good day on our fields. We did one of the edges today and got nearly skunked. At least i didn't find anything roman. But it is a large field and it will be better next outing. :occasion14:

You were just saying to me how you prefer brooches and such. Well you got your wish! Nice job and killer finds.
 

congrats on the romans and beautiful brooches!
 

Heck, I call a 2 coin day a good one. 10 coins is an awesome day!
 

Nice little hunt Lu. You never know when that "hunted out" area has a pot load of gold that someone missed. Good luck.
