Spent 6 hours on the Roman Site & 2.5 hours on new land. The new land is still not producing (other than 1 hammered in the first 16 minutes), but we will grid, just incase.
This is Fri & todays hunt & we have now pushed over 200 Roman Bronze Coins from the Lion Site - since we first discovered it late last year.

No special finds but we are happy we have a chance in January.

25 Roman Coins
bits...

What was the history of the site, a Roman gambling house? That is a lot of coinage, depending on the acreage you are gridding. Are they all from about the same era? Nice coins and especially the quantity...but not sure if these are all quality or not...but they all look nice to me.
Its spread over a linear feature that confirms my theory of a lost Roman Trackway. We find quite a few unknown trackways. Its at least 3-4 homesteads alone a trackway that leads to water. This site is not like some early ones we get & started a bit later in the early 200 ADs & finished about 400AD.
