The End is Nigh

I was mightily relived to finish covering the basic area today and it was a joy to get onto the loose earth and just push it aside to locate the find. The first picture shows the start of the top soil heaps - look and fear follow on detectorists. This is where you will be banished to fry in the sun while your boots fill with loose soil and sweat when you are not needed in the trenches.

The digger trembles before the critical gaze of Anna and her two enforcers in red hats, Federica and Sabrina, no longer my slave diggers but all powerful Trench Masters now that the trench has been opened!




Equalled yesterdays coin total and managed a couple of interesting partifacts. A fragment of a crucifix with a stone in it and not a toy train wheel as I first thought but a badge of some type. I hope they prove to be medieval and not more recent. Cibalia has since told me that the 'train wheel' is in fact a Roman fibula.

The end of the day and cool, clean shower time.
