Worth getting sun burn for ;D it certainly was Val................thanks.. 8) Title: Re: romans Post by: probono on May 06, 2018, 07:56:58 PM Well done:) - I too had hoped to be able to report something similar today!...
Today I finally went to my new permission in the Cotswolds - 1000acres that hasn't been detected for 30 years at least (at least with the owner's permission), and including a roman villa. I found.........one denarius - and just junk apart from that - turns out the previous owner had dumped 1 foot of building rubble on top of the villa to fill in the lumps and bumps........!!!! (But at least I found a denarius!) Title: Re: romans Post by: Mungo on May 06, 2018, 09:10:08 PM well done on the denarius tho......... 8)
Title: Re: romans Post by: probono on May 06, 2018, 10:55:31 PM well done on the denarius tho......... 8) Yes - it's my first one for about 3 years, so I shouldn't be disappointed - was just frustrated that all I was digging was lead sheeting and broken light bulbs....at least there is plenty of land in crop at the moment, and at the front of the house is a ridge and furrow field, so should be some good areas. Might even offer to run a trench or two across the villa / farmstead as it was dug in the '60s apparently, so it would be good to find out just how thick that junk layer is.
