Our fifth visit this season to the 24-acre field resulted in more hammered coinage covering a wide date-range being recovered.
Patience is the word for this field as the artefacts are quite widespread with hammered coinage averaging about two coins per acre.
There have been 48 hammered coins recovered overall, dating from the C12th through to to Charles I.
We were going to video this visit but it was far too windy, so we'll perhaps try it next time out.
At least there is no green waste here, also the soil is great to dig as it is has a mix of sand in its makeup making it crumbly. It was a surprise to see the surface cracking due to the dry conditions!
The links to the images of the artefacts from the three visits are: 9th March, 16th March and 24th March.
