:hello:

Hello everybody :headbang:

At last we managed to get out for a days hunting :) the day didn't start that good though :-\ a puncture on the Jeep put paid to a early start :-\ We finally got to a couple of fields we have been watching over the Winter, expecting them to have both been ploughed by now...they had but were both way to rough to detect :'(
We adopted plan B and slipped back onto the Roman Villa site, although this field has yielded pretty poor results this year, it always has the potential to give-up something SPETACULAR...today it did...for me :o

Celtic Gold Stater .....Corieltavi Inscribed Stater VOLISIOS DVMNOCOVEROS..AD 20-35... :o I'm still in shock, I couldn't post last night, due to a Computer Virus ???...and it didn't stop there :o

Michael chipped in with a broken Roman Silver, then a full one :o I plucked a cut half Hammered(long cross).. :headbang:

Then Michael had his find of the day...a Viking embedded coin weight :o :o (needs carefull cleaning) these are a quite rare item :o and fetch a few quid :wink:

Next it was me turn with a nice Roman Silver laying right on the top :o not quite sure yet of the ID, needs a bit of cleaning, I will update the post as time Goes on :icon_thumleft:

Anyway enjoy the pictures of our AMAZING 5 hours detecting the Yorkshire soil :notworthy:

Here is some imformation on Viking Coin weights :icon_thumleft:

Re: Uniscribed Celtic Gold Stater........

Congrats on your gold stater. I couldn't imagine finding a coin that old. I'm just starting to get comfortable with relics from the 18Th century. It leaves me numb thinking about the age of your stater, what a beauty... Arty

Thanks :icon_thumleft: we have had a few lean months, and this was a turn up for the books as we thought our Villa site was not going to produce this turn of the plough :dontknow: just goes to show, you just have to keep trying :o

Re: Uniscribed Celtic Gold Stater........

Some find there! What a way to offset the rain and the tire.
I noticed you are digging in a planted field. How does that work with the farmers or is it just some generic planting?

Thanks :icon_thumleft:.....we replant the seedlings, the farmer lets us go on all his crop. We have done this for years, and it makes no difference to the growing process :icon_thumleft:

Congratulations my friend
