The field I have been detecting gave up some awesome relics this week. Had a hail storm come through one evening when I was in the middle of the field and fortunately, I had a ski cap on and a hood on my jacket. Must have been an omen as I found another Roman coin shortly after the hail stopped and the Romans were not settled here. I was only able to detect 1/3 of the field and I am not sure if I will get back to it as I will be moving over the next few weeks. Here is a beautiful church I passed most days on my drive to and from work, digital camera could not take a nice picture but here it is.
Here are the better finds. Also have a handful of worn copper coins, buttons, relics and a few clay marbles. The lead finds, 3 musket balls, a possible spindle whorl, two lead seals and a lead tag with no markings.
A homemade buckle, an old cracked thimble and another buckle.
A large encrusted religious pendant.
A poor condition swastika pin, pin is also intact, it will not clean up as it is made of zinc.
A beat up aluminum swastika buckle but this is the nicest buckle of this type I have found of 3-4.
Obverse of a large Roman bronze Sestertius, very worn.
Reverse of the Sestertius, looks like it had a building on it.
Another Roman bronze Sestertius encrusted with a patina that may have helped to preserve it. The obverse, appears to be a bust facing left.
Reverse looks to have two people standing.
A nice silver coin dated 1687 with St. Kilian (Kilianus Sanctus) on the obverse holding a sword to the left and scepter to the right. Cleaned it with a toothpick and silver cleaner.
Reverse of the silver coin, date of 1687 in the middle divided by a coat of arms. I have not researched it much and do not know where it is from. I had a good week! HH, Mike
