Post by: altinkum on March 08, 2009, 12:27:01 PM
i attended today's rally and all was well until 10.30 when a 200mph wind blew up and it started chucking it down. i made my way back to the car as did a few others when i left i heard of 1 hammered 2 complete roman broochs and a few roman bronzes were found. well done to all those who stick it out look forward to seeing your finds on here later today.  mike
