The Bad Lands & then the Roman Bath House...

[CRUSADER]

After many years of not visiting this farm, we re-established contact to try some fields that were just about to be drilled with a spring crop. We nick-named this the 'Bad Lands' because it was our least productive land. After 2 hours (plus Cru'Dads 2 hours the other day) we were reminded why its the bottom of the pile. We had 14 buttons but no other finds. Although Cru'Dad had a Lead Token on his solo visit.
We decided to return to the Roman Bath House site & grid over some of the better areas for the 2nd time. We had missed a fair amount of stuff:

13 Roman Coins
Tombac Button with Design
2 Roman Brooches (Broken)
Roman Locking Pin Mechanism
Frag of a Roman Ring with intaglio
Another Roman Lead Dice, the 3rd from this site. With gambling or game playing being a theme at this site & knowing that Roman Soldiers visited it from a nearby major route North, I'm being to think it was a tavern & not a Bath House.

With the weather getting warmer and dryer the farmers will have everything drilled soon, i'd keep going back to the bath house site, you always miss something is the lesson I have learnt.

With that history i bet this site will produce after every plow for some years. Like the dice, it's a giant!

Looks like some pretty old relics ( at least by our standards here )...good luck on your next trip!

Nice intaglio. Detecting a Roman tavern site sounds like a dream lol

 

[CRUSADER]

Thanks all.

It is one of our dream sites, the bronze to silver ratio is like no other site 25/1 !!!

We also just tipped 300 Roman Bronze Coins this year so far!

Tavern that's more like it. Wonder what they were drinking Cru. Guess it's near to the A1.
