Title: Find of my lifetime... Post by: Da Monkey on October 04, 2015, 06:11:44 PM Hi All,
Not been that active of late, been busy and only managed a few outings :( but... I did make up for it with what will probably be the find of my lifetime :) Walking to a Roman findspot I met a friend walking the opposite direction, he was just about to call it a day... we chatted for a while then I persuaded him to stay out for a an hour or so in the hope of some Roman, he replied that nothing short of Celtic or Saxon would do... Telling him to be happy with a bit of Roman and that Celtic & Saxon was just the stuff of dreams and would never happen for the likes of us, this little beauty popped up after 30 minutes :o I'm going to get him to talk to me about Saxon hoards next time...

It's a Tree on the back Al, I expected a sheaf, but it was a tree :) C'mon Deadlucky, you were the second person to hold it in nearly 2100 years ;) Like to see your Dobunni Dale, have you posted a piccy ?
