Im a Jits guy as well, couple of years training no-gi mostly.

 

Funny thing about martial arts and tree surgery - my uncle got a guy in to eradicate some knotweed, turns out the guy was also an MMA coach - well the knotweed took less time than he thought, so he graciously offered to top some monster spruces that were threatening to fall and crush a building. Uncle was delighted, and the dude climbed the two trees freestyle - no ropes, lanyards, harness - and literally halved the trees. Uncle couldn't really describe how he did it, but I assume he just balanced on branches while he made the cuts. Well, Chuck Norris would have simply roundhouse kicked the trees over, but there's only one Chuck.

Tell us about your finds Paul, specifically the coins, how old are they?

 

1st coin is a silver denarius of the emperor Tiberius - this coin is known as the tribute penny as it was the the same coin Judas was given to betray Jesus ( 30 pieces of silver) I found it in Lincolnshire

 

2nd coin is a silver sixpence of James I of England - early 17th Century - I found it in Norfolk

 

3rd coin is a Henry VI silver groat (4pence) this 15th century coin was minted in Calais when the English still held this part of France. I found it in Norfolk

 

first artefact is a lunar type roman brooch from the 1st to 2nd century AD I found this in Gloucestershire.

 

2nd artefact is an anglo saxon brooch circa 500 AD - I found this in Notts. The anglo Saxons had been converted to Christianity by this time and stylised cruciform brooches like this are typical of the time.
