Old Permission - 2 Hammered & ROMAN SILVER...

[CRUSADER]

Cru'dad suggested this field which we had scouted last week. I wasn't very keen but I had no better suggestions & the field was in a nice cultivated flat condition with only low lying weeds. I thought we may get 1 hammered if lucky.
We have never had a Roman silver from here until today, so it was a bolt out of the blue on my 3rd run.
We managed 3hrs 45mins today;

5 Scrappies
Cufflinks (I had 1 & Cru'dad got the matching pair)
Crotal Bell
Medieval Strap-end
Bit of a Medieval Dagger Chape
1.5 Lead Tokens
17th C Token
Jetton
Civil War Era Lead Powder Flask Lid
Commonweath Hammered Penny
Henry III Hammered Penny
Philip I AD247 Silver Ant.

A much better day than I expect for a field with no Sites on it & not a great back history of finds...

Nice! Sometimes all it takes is a good deep plow to bring stuff up into range.

Well done Cru on the recoveries.
The silvers are in fine shape.

Query: How far apart were the cufflinks?

We are not to sure, as we didn't realise until we got to the car.

Awesome!! I sure love the old images of those coins!!! It pays to go back to dried up spots that is for sure!!

Sometimes the best sites are those unknown because of that very reason. Lost to time.

UPDATE:

Cru'dad has checked the old Records for this field & I was wrong about there being no roman Silver. We had 1 broken one that I had forgotten about in 2013.

The Philip I Roman Silver is the first of this Emperor. (we have had some bronzes of him)
