Here we go Chris (dingdong).....and of course other members. ;)
Yesterday I headed into the fog on some maise stubble, it's near a Roman site so produces the odd few bits. Anyway first up was the Roman brooch and a early one at that missing the pin but aren't they always  ??? well nearly always. The very next signal produced a recognizable signal in (Full Tones) sound wise, coupled with a meter reading of 86 straight away I was thinking Denari, especially as several has showed themselves in this field. On the first turn of the spade up popped this crudded roman with the hint of silver on the edges, sure enough a Denarius, it took 3 hrs to clean but it turned out to be a little cracker.....Hadrian, moon and star reverse..
My medieval fields has been ploughed  :) quite deep by the looks of it, although yet to be seeded!! when it is I will be on and hope to do plenty of posting up. That is when this weather turns to drier conditions, not this weekend by the looks of it.... ;) 

Many thanks for putting up the finds Paul, stunning to say the LEAST !!
Great write up as well mate !!
The photograph of the DEAUS standing proudly in the mist is very atmospheric !!
Should put it up for Countryfile calendar .
Hope to be getting back out there myself sometime very soon.
In the meantime....Good Hunting..👍

Lovely stuff once again Paul.  We love to see your finds, they're always in such good condition.  Keep them coming.
Happy Digging!!  Tom.

Cheers Chris, look forward to your finds soooon  ;)

Thanks Tom.... ;)

What a cracking coin Paul, lovely. And yet another brooch. At least the top is complete. Good finds, again.

Thanks Val, Yeh the catch plates a bit broken unfortunately  ;)

Not seen an Hadrian denarius like that one before looks like your back on it paul ;)

Thanks Colin,  ;)

wow more great finds, how on earth did you clean that denarius up to that result in 3 hrs mine took days, amazing.

Cracking finds again paul,and tha denari came up beautiful fairplay ;)

Lemon juice followed by ultrasonic clean basically. Not all denari I've found would clean up this way that's for sure..

Thanks Ron, it is a very nice example.  ;)

There are ways of course to clean them more quickly - if you use a stronger acid than citric acid :) - but then three hours isn't too bad really.

I tend to use my ultrasonic cleaner for bronzes :)

It's come up really nice too - and a great reverse!
