A beautiful day dawned and i set off nice and early to meet up with a couple of club members to explore a new field. Well, it wasn't long before the finds started coming up. We had everything from roman to modern day, with my colleagues getting a nice fibula and cut quarter. I get a wide range of finds including a nice pendant [any idea of date?] and a roman coin.

By 1 o clock we were on our way home when i get a call from techony, to tell me that he'd found a dozen Edwards! So making a rapid detour, i eventually joined him on a potato field ..... yep, he was referring to king edward potatos! So, rather than waste the time, i joined him for a couple of hours and boy was i glad that i did so.

In between picking up some good quality spuds, i managed a nice roman coin and on my way back to the car to offload the spuds, i got another coin just below the surface. I was pleased with that one as its my first one ever!

Enjoy

Well done Alan - tis a thing of beauty mate - well pleased for you!

Love to see little gold horses being found.

And the gold is a 'wild type' of Cunobelin - I can't tell from the size of your fingers, is it a quarter stater?

cracking finds......... 8)

Very nice Al,

Just had one myself too with a huge slab of butter on it, yummy  ;D

My final score was 9 Roman bronzes and I think that the odd looking piece is possibly the top off a la tene brooch. Photo's tomorrow if I get the chance.

Well done on the Cuno, well worth getting muddy for.

Great finds Alan, now  how about a photo of those potatoes  :)

Well done alan lovely stater

here you go, i'll try and get a couple of clod shots of them later in the week!  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Yes Val, I can agree with techony, they are delicious. [I must remember to take a bucket with me next time i get over there!!]    As for his 9 roman bronzes!! you only showed me 4 you little devil! am looking forward to seeing the piccies later.

happy hunting everyone and may your luck be as good as mine was today.

Now thats a find I can equal. I found some of them myself yesterday. ;D  Only difference is, I was digging one of my own potatoe beds.
Went down a treat with the roast beef. Sounds like I'm blowing my own trumpet but I'm convinced they taste better than what you buy. (Must be the horse muck)  :o ::)

Well done Alan, a brilliant find. Not being funny but is it "official"? What's happening with the surface on the reverse, it looks as if it's flaking off ???

Hi Geoff, i must admit that i did have some concern over it, but it is heavy in weight. I shall await the experts ruling once its been returned from PAS. Will keep you informed.

very nice al  :)
