Re: Huge Roman coin find for hobbyist

Yet again a detectorist, acting entirely correctly, has found a hoard in this case, which will, because of its content, rewrite the history of the area.

Well done Dave, you are a credit to metal detecting.

Re: Fuji S2500HD then, initial thoughts. (BIG images)

Considering all you have said Karv, those are impressive photo's. I would say that you have a bargain.

The church has a special look about it, like the hill it rests upon, its style etc., well worth detecting around, I wish.

Re: Anyone care to a take guess as to this crop mark?

It certainly looks as though it extends well into the other field, and to my mind, could be an enclosure of some kind. Well worth investigating.
