It was another 8am - 6pm day today, out hunting in the English Springtime. It's chilly in the morning and evening and there has been a light breeze most of the day. No momentous finds on our end today with one exception. Clarence found his first hammered silver coin today. He also has a possible lead palm guard and a neat button that says "Essex Local Militia". All my gold coin signals turned into shotgun shell primers when I dug them. Clarence and I think we must have walked miles and miles today. Today's fields have all been tilled and rolled flat and planted with their new crops. Clarence tried to cross into the next field by climbing down a steep bank. He started to slip on the muddy bank and fell backwards, sitting down on the hill and putting his hands behind him to catch himself. Unfortunately, both hands landed in a patch of stinging nettles. Ouch!
There is an update on the Roman Gold found yesterday. Our Roman coin expert "on call" for all our Roman finds, confirmed the ID and says it's value is in the five figures (English pounds sterling). WOW! Great find made by a nice guy and great detectorist. Hopefully, our gold find will come soon! We are always hopeful that tomorrow will be THE DAY!
