Hello MD-s

I have been metal detecting for other two days at the same site. In total three days. The temperature is around 40•C. It is easy getting wet ears. I can hardly support the garrett's headphones even when it is cold.
But finding these 2300 years old coins is .... mmmm... don't know what to say!

Alexander the Great (quiver type) 336-323 BC.

It is possible that these coins are from Philip II of Macedonia.

The "earring" piece is certainly a coin. Fantastic finds. Simply Fantastic!
