Inscribed Celtic Gold Stater...Update....Full ID...

Silver Searcher · Feb 28, 2011

Hello everybody :headbang:

At last we managed to get out for a days hunting

the day didn't start that good though $:-\$ a puncture on the Jeep put paid to a early start $:-\$ We finally got to a couple of fields we have been watching over the Winter, expecting them to have both been ploughed by now...they had but were both way to rough to detect :'(

We adopted plan B and slipped back onto the Roman Villa site, although this field has yielded pretty poor results this year, it always has the potential to give-up something SPETACULAR...today it did...for me

Celtic Gold Stater .....Corieltavi Inscribed Stater VOLISIOS DVMNOCOVEROS..AD 20-35...

I'm still in shock, I couldn't post last night, due to a Computer Virus

...and it didn't stop there

Michael chipped in with a broken Roman Silver, then a full one

I plucked a cut half Hammered(long cross).. :headbang:

Then Michael had his find of the day...a Viking embedded coin weight

(needs carefull cleaning) these are a quite rare item

and fetch a few quid :wink:

Next it was me turn with a nice Roman Silver laying right on the top

not quite sure yet of the ID, needs a bit of cleaning, I will update the post as time Goes on :icon_thumleft:

Anyway enjoy the pictures of our AMAZING 5 hours detecting the Yorkshire soil :notworthy:

Here is some imformation on Viking Coin weights :icon_thumleft:

Thanks for the update Colin , you have good fields there . I'm still working on the day we all hit some fields down here, should hear soon . Don't forget the stove, I'll provide the sausages, you me shaun and Cru, on a 300 acre site, mixed arable + pig live stock, so the sausages should be great , and the finds even better , hopefully

ps. maybe you should put "MEGA" update in your title

Stove primed and ready....come on those fields

If ancient is the correct term, I just love those little ancient gold coins.

You have got extream age, rarity, and nice condition weather or not it gets on banner doesn't matter you know what you got, and that's all that really matters. Congratulations !!

Seems like only one Brit allowed on the Banner, at a time...hence the reason your post never made it $:-\$

SS,
I don't know what to say buddy :icon_scratch:

. I often wonder about how things work on here. :dontknow:

Just for example.I get up at the crack of day hook the boat up burn gas in the truck drive 45 min or so put the boat over burn more gas plowing up & down the river all day tying to find the oldest stuff possible for here.Pull the boat back up drive back home make a post get a few replies & look at other post that have 30-40 replies about a hand full of clad coins.

Makes me wonder is it ME or should I had stayed here in my back yard looking.

But what can you do. :dontknow:

That's just not my style of hunting so I'll stick with it but gotta say it makes me say hummm
Take Care,
Pete, :hello:
