Spent 1.5 hours finishing the area between the roman site & where I left off yesterday. No more roman coins in that area.
When I got back to my bike I had a spare 10 minutes so wandered a little & found:
RARE - Silver Denarius of Galba AD68-69.
I told Kirtpa less than a week ago this was my next project
Gold in 5 years remember - working on it

Crusader, you have done it again that is a great looking coin that is full of wonderful history.
I would be on my bed now dreaming about who lost the coin? what did he or she look like? Was it a rich or poor person? Well you know what I mean..... Each find tells a story
God bless

I thought I will just try along the edge for a few minutes as I needed to be back in time for Mum's Birthday meal. First signal was strong & being close to the gateway I thought it was a piece of broken can. So very surprised to see a Roman Silver. I did a Rex Hunt kiss but never put it back
Its our 4th Roman silver this year which is already a record & we are only halfway through the year 8)
I'm waiting for Gunner's thoughts as its not in my Sears book & I believe it to be a Very Rare Variant.
