My wife and I have visited this field at least 8 or 10 times, it has yielded a few odd silver coins, 2 mediaeval and a badly clipped roman( late). However I was convinced that the field just had to have a patch that would give us a little more.
I was using the 11 in and my wife the 9 in coil, it is a large field and recently ill health has slowed me down . After a couple of hours and little to show for it we reached the far end of the field and I started to work my way up the edge , I was a fair distance up it when I realised I was being watched by a herd of deer, rather than disturb them I turned back, signal, an almost mint roman silver denarius,,, a few more paces and another . Then the bronzes starting comingup for both of us.
We had found the patch, unfortunately I was getting really tired and we had to call it a day, as we made our way back , another roman silver, regrettably damaged.
Can't wait to get back but the crops are starting to grow so we may not have much longer.
