Firstly, thanks again to Land-Mag for the lift & it was really great to get in amounst it again.:headbang: They have done a deep plough on 4 of our Roman Sites, we just don't know where to start. When I say deep, I mean 15 inches on the Iron Age/Roman Site in picture 6 (only spent an hour on it!) There is pottery shards everywhere, & I spent 4 hours 15 minutes on the field we named 'Brooch Field'.

Dad joined me for the last couple of hours & pulled off what will surely become his best 'Eyes Only' find (I spotted a roman coin on top) - Celtic Bronze Unit (I can't find it in the books, looks rare, I will keep researching!) He spotted it in a lump of clay whilst he had stopped next to me trying to find an iffy signal.

I pictured a few of the Roman Iron Nails we clear.

Total for the day:
26 Roman Bronze Coin
1 Silver (debased) Roman Coin - Solonia
Bent up Roman Fantail Brooch
Roman Pin (Large)
Part of a Iron Age/Roman Luna Mount (with a smaller piece I found in the same area 2 years ago)

The nicest roman coin was my third dig! After 1 bit of lead & the bent up brooch.

Also the 35mm Sestertius is our largest ever, shame about condition.

Found it, reason it took me awhile was because I was looking for a horse instead of a boar:laughing7:
Circa 10AD.
 

Very nice finds! :occasion14: I like seeing the Roman nails as well. What part of England are you in BTW?
 

Nice roman coins!
 

Real nice condition on the coin in pic. 3

I like the pic. of the "nails" too, they're cool.
 

Incredible Finds! It is great that you can find coins that old! I hope you have many more fields that have a deep plow done. Can't wait to see what is next! Way to go! :icon_thumleft:
 

A couple of those roman bronze coins are in amazing shape. Great hunt Cru!!

England is about as much as I'm will to share on the www.:thumbsup: (some members/X-members of Tnet know to well what happens when you share too much)
