From the land of the Bluenose...just a few photos of the finds from my UK trip. Everything from circa 50AD to modern as the venues from dig to dig varied. Have been approached to write an article for a UK treasure mag which was unexpected....working on it!

From the land of the Bluenose...Henry V and valued (last price at auction in Australia) & $1300 but going in my collection. Hammie silver was a Charles 11 six pence...fair shape. No id yet on the sesterius Roman coin. Happy hunting all.
