would like to thank chef geoff for inviting me down to somerset to detect on  one of his roman fields yesterday ,i have been wanting to find a roman coin for almost a 12 month since i started and chef did not let me down , the jedi master did find one before me and he purposely stayed off the roman hotspot for me too detect it on my own ,just before i found my coin i found a piece of a roman brooch which i almost put in with my scrap as it looked in too good condition to be anything else ,after a swift clip round the ear for not knowing my roman brooches off mr chefphones it was identified as around the 1st -2nd century polden hill type , the rest of the day myself and geoff found various other bits and pieces and at last light i found a watch winder so that for me was 3 items off my wanted list and i cant thank geoff enough , the one thing i like about detecting with geoff is i learn more about history in an hour than i probably learned in my school days ,
thank you very much geoff i really appreciate that and enjoyed our day

I thought you going to say "I learnt more in an hour with cheffy....... Than a lifetime with nobby"......lol ;D
That's probably true as well  ;D
Well done mucker...... ;)

The pleasure was all mine Justin and I feel sort of privileged to have helped in crossing a few of the list for you but remember the finding was all yours so very well done, the brooch, although only a bottom half is in stunning condition and as you say is a Polden hills, Hattatt 900, type.
Here's to the next time ;)

Ermmm Chef, A Polden Hills brooch found on the Polden Hill  :D. Have you found one there yet :D

Well done Justin, always good to get one's first roman :)

Shut up! :'( :'( :'( :'(

cheers taff , im going to ask geoff if he will take me to his gold field next  :D :D

don't bother its all gone  :D :D ::)

I purchased a coil from Geoff a couple of years back, popped down to pick it up and Geoff kindly took me on a Roman site for a couple of hours never knew me from Adam, it's not every body who would share a site like that  :)

And you found a nail cleaner as far as I remember Paul, I just love people finding things that I can see, I should set myself up as a rally FLO I could quite happily sit there and look at peoples finds ;D

I did Indeed, and that's not such a bad idea just think no more aching arms and back just sat in a chair ;) I will have to return the search on one of my flinty fields Geoff one day. :)

Well done Matey, you beat me to the Romans, but did you really go to school ?? ;D ;D

Geoff has been known throw the odd roman hoard out aswell,  ;-) :-D

Hang on, thats all you do anyway aint it.....Look at other people's finds :D

well done guys, a great example to all.

I've yet to find a roman ................................  this week!   ;D ;D ;D
