I don't know if anyone knows why some Roman coin busts are facing left. Everything I've read seems to only be speculation. But, no doubt, the left facing coins are rare compared to the emperor's image facing right.

You must be on a good Site to get so many Denarius. Are they all 1 field?

IDs by the end of today.

To get a Julius Caesar, took us many years, bear in mind its 100 years before they invaded us.

Now unless you are doing something wrong you should have HUNDREDS of Roman Bronze Coins from that site?

Odd, because unless you got a random Silver (sometimes happens) then you should get about 70 bronze to go with it. Makes me wonder if your Discrimination is too high?
Also, if you don't already, you need to grid the areas where the silvers came from.

Is there pot shards as well & lots of Lead?

OK, the pottery & Lead means your on settlement. Must be loads of bronze there, so its time to get Disc to 0 & clear all that coke. I can't help much more than that because I have no experience of the macro-racer. All-metal is a tough way to start detecting, best use in Disc but have it as low as possible. You soon learn what a nail sounds like, & anything else you should dig & clear.

It's expensive. May want to think about a second-hand XP Goldmax power. It's very good.
Nice decorated early Medieval Spindal Whorl!
Hope you post more of your 'Todays Finds' in the Forum.
