Started off gridding for 2 hrs 45mins on the Village Field. Normally a good field for hammered but we got none. Not really sure if we were in a dud area or if the hard ground & roughed up clay lumps were messing with our depth. It was hard work walking on & digging/smashing lumps open, so we moved.
We were hoping to get on 'The Hill' Site but the tractor was still discing it up & hadn't done the best area yet, so we looked for a nearby field that was ready.
It was a field that we had only tried once & never had anything Recorded from it.
However, I walked in 20 metres, turned on my machine, put my coil straight on a Roman Coin. (didn't even do the first swing!) I was happy at this point not to have blanked. After an hour exploring, I now know we need to return, as the soil was easier to dig & much easier to walk on. (lighter sandy soil - good indicator for early farming)

Cru'dad got what I think is a Medieval Iron Axe Head (any experts who could narrow the date, I'm listening...) Its a first for us.
