Who knew there could be TWO Lucky Dog Days in a row??? Clarence found another gold today before noon. We are back on the field where all the Roman coins were found a couple of days ago. This gold is actually a Saxon gold ingot 3.21g 8.43mm diameter. He also found four hammered silver coins, a brooch with a red stone, a brooch with an amethyst looking stone and six more bronze Roman coins. What can I say...he is really on a roll.
Bruce did pretty well, too. He found two Roman bronzes and an 1865 One Pence coin. CA Dan found a hammered silver coin and a cuff link. Mindy found a cute little Roman offering pot. One of our newbies, Peter, on his first full detecting day ever, found the one we all dream of...a hammered gold Half Noble. This is THE coin I have been wanting to find since my first trip to England. I spent the afternoon hoping it has had a friend out there for the last six hundred years but no luck. I did manage to find two more Roman bronzes and about a kazillion four hole buttons (modern). After the past couple of days, I guess I can't complain. Maybe tomorrow will be my golden day?
Update: My fibular brooch has been confirmed as Roman 1st Century. Clarence's broken Celtic gold from yesterday is actually a broken part of a Celtic Full Stater, not a Quarter Stater as first thought. The broken part is 1.68 g and 13.74mm diameter. Not too shabby. We still have five days to find more.
