Roman Quarry....

[CRUSADER]

We spent 4 hours 15 minutes near a Roman Quarry Site, we have never had that much but I did once get the super rare Baldred penny, so it was worth a shot.

Still ringing Crotal Bell
2 Scrappies

Medieval Thimble
2 17th C Tokens (poor)
Piece of a Roman Fibula

Any part of an axe would be fine with me, nice going on the Viking strapend.

Happens so often that way, start or the finish of the hunt, might as well nap in between the two ends.

Hi! Cru' & Cru' Dad,
If you have found a coin from Baldred King of Kent, Wikopedia says only 19 of his coins are known. After you clean your finds up, would you please do a feature post on that coin? All of your finds are very nice. I can appreciate the work you men do to retrieve them.
Best of Luck,
Phil

Here it is. It was the only one of its reverse spelling.

I'm sure that wasn't exactly what you were hoping to find, but you certainly didn't get skunked. Some nice pieces in that pile.

Actually we were expecting very little, so it was a good result considering.
