we completed another 5 hour session with the following results;

39 Roman Bronze Coins
1 Tudor Button
Broken Silver Thimble
Roman Pin-Head
Royal Farthing
Bit of a 10th C Saxon/Viking Strap Junction
RARE - 6th C AD High Status Gold Saxon Chip Carved Wrist Clasp? (broken, so can't find a parallels to this object)

I really don't know how to get that much coins from a site... Maybe our romans lost less of them?
Congrats on another rare Saxon item!

You and Cru'dad are detecting machines! Just the sheer amount of finds in a hunt makes my arm hurt...

We are getting older & pacing ourselves, we used to do 7 hour hunts as average, now its closer to 5.
