Cortes Fights Back - 2000 Year Old Coin!!-UPDATED....

[CRUSADER]

We continued the hunt for more roman coins but only got 15 in 4 hours (8 man hours). Sometimes, finding not many is a good thing, as we now know the limits of the site. Anyway in an area which had nothing, Dad came up smelling of roses. He got our second Celtic Silver Unit for this year.

Its not in Van Arsdell book which immediately tells you its rare. Some describe it as Extremely Rare, but in reality it's Very Rare

Dias - 15BC-10AD 'Saltire' Silver Unit - pretty valuable in this condition.

15 roman coins
Poor Hammered Silver - Lizzy Halfgroat
Roman Bronze Child's Bracelet
bits.......

We are on fire right now, & the good news is this field is the first to be harvested in our area, some time next week Guess where I'm spending my holiday.

Tell me about it

3-4 outings Celtic, Roman, Saxon, Medieval Silver coins. Never had a field like this one & we haven't even done 10% of the productive area.

Cheers guys, Its nice to know the value, but as you probably know by now, it has little meaning to someone that never sells

I'm glad to say, that this one is more interested in the history. So no cheque book needed, just a few nice items to sacrifice.

Does this mean this is your new first favorite field now?

Great finds. We are all in suspense, waiting to see what comes out of this new land of yours.

Good Luck
