XP Deus II v0.6 with 11" Coil
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
Returned to finish off the productive area of the Roman Site. Only spent 3 hours but the sticky conditions were the worst we have worked in, & thats saying something :P :P :P

I never need to worry about loss of Sensitivity with the 11" coil when finding a button less than 8mm!

9 Scrappies
Possible Saxon Pinhead (or Roman)
Clipped Roman Silver Siliqua :)

Circa 9th Century Gold Chipped Carved Saxon Clothes Fastener ;D My first one, & a pretty Rare UK Find :icon_thumright:

Maybe this will be a good year with finds like this in the most difficult period :)

Funny, it was the first signal & dig of the day!
 

Re: Roman Site......Good Day!

Who got the Roman silver ::)
 

Re: Roman Site......Good Day!

Looks like you're getting back to your old tricks. :thumbsup:

An 11" only seems big because you're used to a couple inches smaller. I will probably never switch from my 10.5" and it's as normal as normal can be to me.

Just a little luck early in the year.

Yeah, I may stick with the 11" more often. But I do tend to like clearing the top stuff with the small coil first & hitting it later with the 11". Gives me confidence to go back for seconds without waiting for the plough. If I hit it straight away with the 11", I might not return :-\
 

:o :o

That's a super find :o :o are you sure it's not a mount :icon_scratch: looks like it's had another piece atached to the bottom, be carefull with the lemon juice on Bronze, it lifts the patina, I can see it's cleaned the Guilding ok though....nice :thumbsup:

Yeah, its a typical fastener, just missing a tiny piece of the hook :P I'm not complaining & totally love the design, these pieces are what I hope for but never get. Roman I can take it or leave it, this is what fires me up to search harder! I now want a solid Silver one :D
