Title: Re: Now the end is near Post by: Dryland on December 01, 2014, 08:33:50 PM I told you before Justin, all the Romans around here were paid in Giros ;D ;D
Title: Re: Now the end is near Post by: Chef Geoff on December 01, 2014, 08:39:00 PM I've only been out 9 times this year which going back to 2011 wouldn't have even equated to 2 weeks worth of detecting :'( that year I had 35 hammered and 127 Roman coins as my 12 month tally. But in the sense of productivity for hours spent this year's measly total of 2 hammered, 1 Saxon sceat, 5 Roman and 2 fibula is probably the best ever ;D

What a fantastic hobby this is and yes this is probably going to be my best year for a long time to come. HAPPY CHRISTMAS to all now get out and dig some holes Yes, it goes like that sometimes - I've found no gold at all this year, but last year managed 3 gold items, and the year before more (although they were in the same hole so, I'm not sure that counts) - have found 6 hammered this year (and a silver roman too), but for me the highlight of the year was a viking weight - basically a lump of lead with some inlaid bronze, but it's something that adds to the history of my part of Wales. Title: Re: Now the end is near Post by: david995 on December 02, 2014, 10:44:52 AM my first full year also and managed (after a lot of learning and still learning the minelab) 39 hammered 3 roman coins, small roman statue, roman ring and 10 mixed rings off the beach as everyone else a mass of pre decimal
