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

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