Tom handed me a box of finds from the eighties to photograph.
This bag seal has copper wire and looks interesting.
Banstead Down, Surrey.

A month after these four were found they brought another two in to the club meeting.
The archaeologist suggested that the gold was acquired to produce Iceni coins.

They were found on the same field and are treasure.
Apparently 9 and 3 BC.
The coin archaeologist suggested that they would have probably have been acquired to make Iceni stators.

By the time I added 8 coin views together the picture was 89 mega-pixels. I posted a smaller version.

The other man,s fields often look yellower.
These won find of the month at tonight's club meeting.

This cloth seal turned up yesterday in Norfolk.

I had a chip basket with a wooden handle (handle attached to both edges of basket for better stability)
It needs much less shaking as it leaves all the soft sand behind.

I did get some funny looks from a market trader who saw me testing his wares with a 5p coin.

I like this re-writing of history.

Good find.
(and good news as Tomorrow I am detecting 2 miles from Diss)
