In the morning we dropped off more coins to the British Museum contact & recorded with the FLO the following Roman Mount;

This day did not go as we thought. I started gridding for just over 2 hours where the Hadrian Ses. came from with zero promising signs. Cru'dad saved himself to help on some new nearby targets. They turned out to be under Wheat. So we tried the field that I had a couple of Roman scraps from, it was a blank. We return to the field we started at, loose gridding across a Bronze age/Iron Age crop-mark - nothing. We then headed towards the edge of the field closest to the neighbouring one that had the demolished Church/Manor. I lucked out a deep Ampulla. The weird bit was, as I was digging it, think it was a deep bit of lead, I wondered if it where an Ampulla. We have not had one in ages & that's not a thought I've ever had before whilst guessing.
We finished off gridding where I had left off at the Hadrian area, & towards the end of the hunt Cru'dad found the only Roman Coin of the day - EYES ONLY!!!
5 Hours for me & 2 hours 45 mins to Cru'dad
13-14th C Lead Pilgrim's Ampulla (Shrine unknown) - Stunning condition for ploughed land -
17th C Button
17th C Coin Weight
2 Medieval Buckles
Crotal Bell
Roman Coin of a variant we need.
Tough day, lots of walking, but we think we now have a place to grid. Although it may have to wait.
