I have found these pieces of whatever it is in a couple different fields around my area. The area is riddled with roman sites but i dont know if they are from that period or what they are.
A coupke of buddies and I went out detecting the other day and i found a roman coin. I believe it to be silver but cant find a match to both front and back online. Hoping someone here might know. As far as i can gather i think its valentinian on the front. Any help is appreciated
Hi guys, new member here!
Found this while detecting with my cheap detector, could you please help me ID it?
I've done some research myself, and I think it's a roman lead seal/ring. But I would need some experts help from here.
Thanks!

I don't know if these photos will show up; this is my first post.
This coin was in a huge Antique lot of jewelry I bought.
Is this a real coin someone made into a clip? The back side has the same writing as a real one from what I can see (If I did my research right!). Did someone do this many...
Last Thursday's Roman Hunt
I took the day off last Thursday as the weather was fantastic, and went up to my usual hunting grounds about an hour from home. But this time, I moved over into a newly plowed field and searched it for about two hours. I found two Roman coins and an intact set of...
Purchased at estate sale of old house owned by church for 150+ years in Wisconsin. Closest thing I can relate it too is a Roman victory medal. Made of bronze. Any ideas on age or origin? Any value? Thanks.
As I live in the US, I can't really detect for Roman/Byzantine artifacts on a daily basis. I'm just curious, what do you guys look for in a seller that specializes in selling artifacts, especially ancient ones? I already bought these online earlier today:
Thank you guys for your time, I...
Greetings to everyone.
I hope I write in the right place, and that someone can help me identify these pottery shards I found today. The site the items were found on, was subject to archaeological excavations long ago, and supposedly held a Roman tower (watch tower I guess) between two well...
Attached are images of a Roman ring I recently acquired at an artifact show. Upon looking at it further, in my opinion it appears to be a seal ring. My first question, is it a seal ring? If so, can anyone identify what the seal may represent?
Secondly, I'm estimating the ring be from the second...
Yesterday I bought a roman silver coin from a dealer near me, I don't really know much about them but I wanted to have one for my collection. I went online and did some research. I understand that roman silver coins had a set weight to them, but mine is over weight? It's suppose to weigh 3.5-3.8...
I found this lovely 11th century Byzantine lead seal with my older Whites 5900 di/Pro machine in the area of Missis, Turkey. These are not the seals used to mark wax, but rather, these are seals that were used to secure official government (church) documents and packages.
During the...
Found this platter in my back yard as a kid and stored it away as my treasure. I recently rediscovered my find. I have looked over the entire thing and can not find any makers mark or silver mark, only the numbers on the back (1830 16). Under some of the deeper scratches, it still appears to be...
Good day to everyone :D
