What a great day again. Great people, great location and some great finds. The weather though chilly stayed dry as well. As was usual for a DW rally I would equate my day to 20% detecting and 80% chatting. No change there then.Up to lunch time I detected around the wood and in the wood and my first signal brought the Glint of Gold. The heart raced until it became apparent there were two objects in my hole the second being gold as well. After careful extraction a gentle cleaning bought a heart sinking moment as the words Gold Label appeared on each with both being lids.  after this I found a few bullets, buttons and a bucket of lead. After investigating the Woods and what looks like an Iron Age enclosure with Medieval buildings inside of which there appears no record of in the archive it was back for lunch. After lunch headed over to the Roman field as all were calling it after Peters Fibula and some coins were found there. Found more buttons a small something that looks possibly a Roman Minim but is almost indistinguishable along with more lead and a silvery looking object with a inscription CARLSBERGIUS LAGERUS so if anyone could transfer Latin to English for me,    and that was my day really. Wanted to chat with Handyman though we did speak briefly at the start but somehow missed him rest of the day as I think I spoke to the rest of Chepstow. Below are some pics from the day.

Thanks to all for another great day. My usual bag of rubbish and grots but I did get quite a nice 17th C buckle. I don't have a problem finding the small stuff but these days they're always the wrong colour! That site must be worth another go particularly if it gets ploughed.

[waltonbasinman]

Totally agree Jeff a good plough and roll and hopefully we behaved ourselves enough for a return visit as I feel there is a lot more to be had as well.

here's my best find, wait for it to be I.D'd / confirmed then i'll add it o the gallery. As said by all, yet another great day out detecting amongst friends.
Thanks once again to all who organised such a great event.
