I had a great day out with Deadlock and he of Psycho fame N.Bates. Well I had decided to take them on to the only bit of pasture I could find, this included 4 fields I have only spent a few hours on but with known Roman habitation.
I'll say now that as has been regular of late today was not to be my day with only a Georgian grot and a Roman mount, Oh and maybe a palm guard Huh
Well on with the story.......Nick had only been on the first field for about 20 mins and came the immortal words of "I've got a Roman" and so he did a late 3rd century grot. A hour later or so Al chips in with one of his own and follows it a little later with a Roman folis. We changed fields a few times after this, with Nick getting another grot and all of us getting well and truly soaked in a passing storm that was looking for New York.
It was about now that Al comes up with the suggestion of returning to the first field and so of we trot, dripping as we went Cheesy
15 minutes later and Nick is holding aloft a 9ct gold child's signet ring, the first ring he has ever found. One proviso I always make when people come on to my land is they have got to find something good...but a gold ring ummm?

Well not half an hour later he is at it again lol but this time the word wasn't "Roman" or "Gold" but "Hoard!".
Yep he was really taking the P..s now Cheesy And a hoard is exactly what he has found, he has retrieved 11 coins so far and through consultation with the FLO on the phone, the rest is still there awaiting her visit along with someone from the County Archaeologist's office tomorrow morning. The hole has been filled after covering the coins we could see and a fuller excavation will happen tomorrow. I think we counted 11 more poking out of the soil but how many are below these is anybodies guess.
A huge congratulations to Nick on finding a hoard and an even bigger well done for have the self restraint to not go and borrow a JCB lol
Wow guys great day out super story unfolding here,congratulations Wink

Did they take any levels or do any planning Geoff? How exactly did they record the hoard?  I know with watching briefs a lot of the time it's just the minimum of recording and as I have never been privy to partake in an excavation of this nature (of what is essentially a single find) I was wondering how it was recorded? Cheers.

No, no surveying was carried out but I guess due to financial restrictions and not knowing about the building would limit the amount of recording necessary. Recording was by GPS for location, physical measure of the coin and bag area also that of the trench and the relation to the wall and it's orientation. Scale photographs were taken and grid drawing was done. Wink

Thank you Geoff once again for the day out and as usual a brilliant write up. Regardless of who found it, its always a team effort in my eyes and always see an invite to someone elses permission as real priviledge, your a true gentlemen!! its who your with that makes up 90% of the day with the banter and a good chat and laugh. I certainly will take and treasure this memory to my grave (Or unless im unfortunate enough to get Alzheimer's!!!!) Ive come a long way since i started detecting in january with my old Garrett Ace 100!!! and wouldnt have kept an interest if it wasnt for all the brilliant people in the hobby and mainly the wealth of knowledge on Detecting Wales.

Big pat on the back to everyone who keeps this hobby alive.
