Metal detecting nut,

[Kev @Sceatta]

@CRAZEEEEgoat Or making the silver go further…common tactic through the ages, cover a copper core with precious metal…sometimes why you see coins with nick marks , testing whether solid or not

[Kev @Sceatta]

A denarius popped up this afternoon. Looks like a copper, plated in silver. Can’t identify it, despite going through my books…

[Kev @Sceatta]

@Dodgypunter51 Thanks Terry, that’s a lot more than I got! I’ll have a look…

[Kev @Sceatta]

Found another flint!

[Kev @Sceatta]

Been finding a couple of worked flint tools while out and about…

[Kev @Sceatta]

@SteveHooke Really pleased for you…well done!

[Kev @Sceatta]

@SteveHooke Medieval thimble?

[Kev @Sceatta]

First trip of the year. Copper finger ring, first hammered of the year, a Roman grot, possibly a tiny Celtic coin, and a possible worked flint,

[Kev @Sceatta]

@Dodgypunter51 😀 Not entirely sure what the shoe horn is. Possibly a strap end , but will show to the FLO to see what she thinks….

[Kev @Sceatta]

New Years Eve trip…..Mary I groat, Boy Bishop token, religious medallion and various other bits…

[Kev @Sceatta]

@Dodgypunter51

[Kev @Sceatta]

@Dodgypunter51 Yes, mind you only one appears to be the result of knapping , and that is a waste flake. Hard to tell in the field, and not an expert.

[Kev @Sceatta]

@MrCheapSeats Says “FC” “WIN” and what looks like 243…..so not a 303,. Lots of deer round here

[Kev @Sceatta]

@MrCheapSeats No Dave, a wee bit too small…..I think a 303, or similar. Possibly from the Home Guard. I do find a lot of 50s here too.

@DetectCumbria Roman brooch

[Kev @Sceatta]

@MrCheapSeats Sorry Dave, just seen this…..to be perfectly honest I am not sure. I would hedge on the side of Henry, but would not bet on it!

[Kev @Sceatta]

@SteveHooke Thanks Steve, have found the odd Celtic bit here….

[Kev @Sceatta]

One find from heavy plough land today…a tiny plate brooch, probably Roman, but the design reminds me of Celtic

[Kev @Sceatta]

Odd bits from this weekend….plumb Bob, Roman grot, cross shaped artefact, probably a belt mount, and a strange little partefact. Very pleasant weather today, and nice to be out.

[Kev @Sceatta]

One decent find from today….lovely weather….a Roman bronze coin, House of Constantine I think. Normally coins off this field are toasted, so very pleased with the condition of this one.
