    I was going to say they looked a bit rune-ish. But that one on the right looks like a deliberately defaced hallmark.

    Sounds like you need to get out of Auto sensitivity and use manual, as high as you can (until your ears hurt). You need to go horribly slow in Auto to get the machine to push up the sensitivity, even...

    Nope, I know everyone who has detected that field over the last 25 years (and there have been a few). There have been a small number of hammered, a few Georgian and I can't remember any Roman.

    Get in the zone and listen very carefully. It might well have been ploughed at some point, or have shallow bedrock, or been turned over by moles. It might not be as difficult as you think and it's...
