Some late Roman items ( a coin and a cloak pin) were found on my place by detectorists once, circa 3rd or 4th century I think.

Chap who metal detects on our land found a wheel bolt for a Roman chariot.
It’s in Ludlow museum.
quite a big find as it proved that the Romans came through this part of Shropshire.

Dad found a Neolithic flint axe head jammed in the stone separator in the 80’s, got it verified by the local museum and he has it at home.
Then in 97, one of the guys found another one, the museum kept it though, it was something special ceremonial type, they thought it may of originated in Denmark
.
someone wrote a short paper on it:

A small flint tool about the size of a 50p piece. I don't think the stone age people around here had a lot of money. I also found an iron axe, but I can't decide whether that's old or just badly made. I thought I'd thrown it in the scrap, but it turned up amongst the rusty staples in the corner of the barn.

We have a few axe heads and flint arrowheads that Dad found in the fen and a dugout canoe was found when they were digging dykes out in the early 1900's. On the top land there was a Roman villa and we always ploughed up roof and floor tiles.

Never found anything here except a few horse shoes. Most of the ground around here was only settled in the late 1800s. Being a century farm still within the same family that settled and first broke the land is quiet an achievement. where I grew up was close to silchester and a few local metal detector guys found some coins but pocket fulls of musket balls.

Quite often find flint tools and there is no natural flint around here. Have found bronze stuff but the thing that fascinates me most were the razor shells dug up that look just like they came off the beach. The sea is 20 miles away.
