Plan A was off the table as there was a planned pheasant shoot.
Thanks to Landmag he did a recon on Cru'dad's request & took a picture of the freshly ploughed Roman Lion Site. It was enough to make me want to go & try it. This field was named after the Rare Votive Roman Lion Statue that I found in the above post.
The field looked like it had a 7-8 inch turn, however, there was so much new material in the surface layers, that we suspect it had a 12 inch turn before the last sowing.
A very productive 4 hour hunt, with our best 1 day total this year;

35 Roman Bronze Coins
Roman Iron Locking Mech.
1st C AD Fibula (Brooch)
Small bit of a Roman Fibula
A small section of Roman Bracelet turned into a kids Ring.
2 Broken Roman Silvers. One was found in the next field OTWBTTC. When I looked at where it plotted, it was very close to another broken Siliqua. After searching my broken bits I reunited them! (still a tiny bit missing)
STAR FIND - AD112 Silver Denarius of Matidia:
Never heard of her & a good gap filler, as this coin books at £1300 in VF. Mine is not a great example but I'm over the moon with it!
Love it when a Plan B comes together....
