Bah, Humbug...    Joking bro.  :D 

You said on the way up that a roman silver was on the top of your list of 'wants'. Then what you go and find?

On top of that, you also find a cut quarter on land where the stubble was so hight I had to jump up and down to see
what direction I was walking in!  ;D Really well done bro. Hope its the first of many for you.
