:hello:

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 :o

Celtic Gold Stater .....Corieltavi Inscribed Stater VOLISIOS DVMNOCOVEROS..AD 20-35... :o I'm still in shock, I couldn't post last night, due to a Computer Virus ???...and it didn't stop there :o

Michael chipped in with a broken Roman Silver, then a full one :o I plucked a cut half Hammered(long cross).. :headbang:

Then Michael had his find of the day...a Viking embedded coin weight :o :o (needs carefull cleaning) these are a quite rare item :o and fetch a few quid :wink:

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

Who knows may be more :o it was only about 3 hundred yards from were I found the outher one :o although a different field, it would have all been the same field before the hedge was there.

:hello2:

I now have the full ID of the Gold Stater... :icon_thumleft:

Corieltauvi Tribe Gold Stater inscribed VOLISIOS DVMNOCOVEROS 35 - 43 AD. Van Arsdell 988-1. Dumnocoveros, son of Volisios, may have been king of the Parisi, Brigantes or Corieltauvi.

Maybe people who say banner, forgot to vote, lets get behind it, if you haven't already.

When you get a Celtic Gold that is one of about 20 recorded (& yes you can times it by 10 for the unrecorded, so probably 200 or so out there) then you have a coin that many UK detectorist will search 10 years+ to get (I myself took 20 years). The reality is, that many will never get one :icon_pirat:

Credit where credit is due :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

I had no idea that gold was so rare after seeing this ( When you get a Celtic Gold that is one of about 20 recorded (& yes you can times it by 10 for the unrecorded, so probably 200 or so out there) it has to be a Banner find you got my vote :thumbsup: Jim
