Third day on 300 Bc site

[vince76]

This was my worst day.
I got there at 7.00 and i began searching. I parked the car in a different place. Where i used to park i had a strong 75 and it was a sling bullet.
Then i had a loud low tone and immediately it began raining.
So i had to wait in the car for more than one hour.
I could find only 18 coins. 16 of them from VI-III B.C. century. One turkish coin not identified yet and a coin from 1947.

Poor Vince, you allergic to the rain? I keep a rain coat and light poncho in the van for the rain. You certainly killed it again today. Man I wish I had one of your bad days.

Thanks A2
I hope so. This area was inhabited for at least 300 years so it means at least 6 generations of at least 100 people. The total will be 600 tombs. So it is strange i haven't found one yet!

Very nice condition on some of those bronze coins, congratulations! Maybe it was just luck or maybe different soil conditions but they look very good and ought to clean up very well. Do you have pictures of the reverse of the coins? Also interesting that you found sling bullets as well as iron arrowheads, hard to say if they are related to a single battle or ones over 1,000 years apart but the arrowheads were not for hunting game!

Hi Plumbata, its an old post from last year. I was flying and I checked the old posts. I can't send the reverse of the coins. I have divided them based on where I have found them and every collection has almost 100-150 coins. I don't know anymore which is which

18 ancient coins is still a good day. I know we all want the silver drachmes or denarius or even gold. But hey, this stuff has been in the ground for almost 2000 years. They are still awesome finds!

Congratulations!

That's true Benjamin. The time flew by very quickly for those coins and now they are back under the sunlight.
