Well its been far to long since I have been inland and only once on the beach in the last 3 months due to being busy doing my house up, so as last Thursday was my birthday I thought I deserved a few hours in a field :) the problem was going to be at this time of year  was anything available, so I found myself driving around some of my farms looking for anything that was not high in crop as luck would have it part of a field that produces mainly Roman, with a bit of Celtic and very occasionally (bronze age well mainly small bits and pieces) was down to ground cover for the birds and as yet crop not showing so it was a welcome site as you can appreciate. I must admit I have gone over this area before and was not expecting much, but it was cultivated seeded and flat and that was good enough for me, as you can see I had quite a few signals the usual bits of lead and the army boys had left a few 303 ends for me... :D the roman tweezers were a nice find I have had lots of these over the years and the next signal not 3 feet from these up popped a lovely bronze object at the moment I am sure its roman ??? and would appreciate any ID....that said it does look like a pipe tamper of much later date ???the thing is this field has never produced any artefact or coin beyond roman, it just looks roman but what was it for :-[ by the way it was my Deus I fired up for this trip and once again it produced I have said it before it is a brilliant machine ;) ;)

Well done celtic spikey I myself dont seem to come across much roman.  Lovely to see

Sorry to hear that mate, are you sure there's not an unrecorded villa near your house are a temple even ;) ;) ;)

Not that I no of haha

well found ;)

Paul after 3 months doing up the house you deserved a good days detecting ;) Iv looked at your finds a few times today, but cant work out what that artefact might be? Iv had a few ideas but nothing came of it :-\ it is a strange one but it looks familiar lol, I think its one of them finds where you put it away and forget about it, and all of a sudden one will pop up in the future and you will get your id, il keep my eyes open :D ;)

The tweezers was a nice find, and in great condition !! Was there any markings on them?

Cheers Dale, your probably right mate, I feel the same I have sent an e/ mail to a dealer friend of mine in Malmesbury ,hope he can shed some light on it will do a post if he can.The tweezers had no markings unfortunately . Not long now and those crops will be out  ::)

Yeah keep us updated.......markings or not there in great shape, and with it being summer there just in time for the bikini line :D
I took the kids out this afternoon for a walk and to check the crop its very green up my way, its surprising as there's golden fields in Somerset?

Nice one Spikey

I know it's a bit difficult to say for sure as you're almost certainly using different settings for your Deus than I am for mine, but where in the spectrum do romans come up for you?

As I've already removed all the signals from the field I usually find roman in (with the T2 / Se Pro and ETRAC) , I haven't found any with the Deus yet...I'm still in the 'dig any decent signal' phase so I'm digging a lot of trash along with my pennies!

Nice find's there well done  ;) the long one could be a linchpin? don't think it's a pipe tamper as it's rounded ( hope it's something good for you  :))

weldone paul mate.

Could be there geordiefred I am struggling to positive ID ;)

Sorry late getting back probono, most of my roman come in at 45-60 depending on size etc, my settings for most of my roman sites are React-2, Audio response-6, Disc 6.5, Sensitivity 95, Frequency 12, Iron volume 3 this has worked well for me but the sites I do have not got much junk etc ;) good luck mate

Cheers Mike, about time I seen some BLING from you , have you been busy else ware  ;)

Hi Dale, my dealer mate reckons that bronze object looks roman but not sure what it's use was, geordiefred reckons poss lynch pin?? I thought by now some one on D/W would come up with an ID, chuck it in the drawer  and wait as you said mate ;)

I think that's best at the moment Paul lol, its definitely a annoying one...It will pop up one day ;)
