I have found over the years quite a few Roman Silver coins on a couple of ocasions I have found two, but never three, this was until last week when searching three different fields, I found three Roman Silvers, two from one field.
The coin on the left is Marcus Aurelius, and the bottom coin that of his son Commodus, you might remember the film Gladiator (Russel Crowe) were Commodus (Joaquin Pheonix) suffercated his father, so that he could become Emporer. Infact Marcus Aurelius died on 17 March 180, after a weak long illness, in the city of Vindobona (modern Vienna). Marcus gave the succession to his son Commodus, whom he had named Caesar in 166 and made co-emperor in 177.
The coin is in fact a tribute to his farther, struck after his death, "My father, Marcus Aurelius, now walks among the Gods."

How do you find Gold coins? Reply: 'By finding lots of Silver ones..'
A real man thinks about detecting every 6 seconds.

We can not understand ourselves unless we understand our HISTORY.
Unfortunately Mate, this field is coming to an end looking for pastures new now

now ive got the DEUS im going back to worked out fields and its like someone has filled them up again
and i prefer flat rolled to pasture
I still don't see what the Dues has over the XP, apart from the several hunting modes, but I don't see any of those, opening up any of my sites.

it seems to have the edge finding small stuff on heavily iron contaminated ground cos it has such a fast refresh rate, but apart from that theres not a lot between them but they are both better than our old hawkeyes
all coins and artefacts shown are found with a metal detector unless otherwise stated

I thought the recovery is just the same as the XP apart from it being lighter, and the hunting modes, it's no different and I could not justify the £1300, I considered buying one once, till I had a go of one, and wasn't inpressed
