Just another Fugio cent.

They're like Memorial Cents around here.

Don't mean to sound not excited about the fugio. Couldn't believe my luck with that. Only found one before and could barely tell what it was. Been hitting a nice old farmland and haven't found muck till lately. First time posting in a while and had to figure out even how to post. Found a nice croatal bell to today. Anybody have any idea about the other thing that really looks like some sort of medal can't tell by the picture but it has gold on it too

Its an old Horse Boss (rosette). Missing most of its edge & on the other side you will see 2 rust stains where the attachments were. Although some were brass.

OK ? I would have thought this to be a more exciting find than that .
Yeah really? Like, look what I got with my Happy meal?
That sort of OK find would have put me on a detectorist adrenaline rush for a dangerous amount of time. Fugio, then cardiologist?

You all have to pardon masonman's lack of excitement on the fugio. I am his detecting partner and when he dug this he actually did a dance like I've never seen before. From a distance it looked like a sasquatch that stepped on a thorn bush.

Yeah, I guess that's an OK find. Looks kinda old and beat up, but then again, I don't really have anything to compare it to, because neither I. nor anyone I know has ever found a Fugio (or two)!

Congrats and hopefully the next Fugio will be a good one.
