More Roman Silver

[Westfront]

I did 5hrs on one of my fave roman sites. I hunt this field for 5 years now every spring and fall. Still some finds to make even with competition. I just have to be faster than them...
I wonder how many big finds turn up from time to time. I thought i had cleared everything big... The Bronze to Silver ratio is amazing this year about 25 to 1! When cleaning the finds i had a second look at the 'Un Centime'. I rarely look at these coins twice, this got my attention because of the stunning condition. Paris mint 'L'an 6' coins go for more than $100 in worse condition... The beautiful Denarius of Julia Mamaea Augusta minted 222-235 AD more than 1500 years older rarely fetch that much. Other finds were 4 Roman bronzes, fibula, ring and a bronze thinghy i first thought stylus. Another pic shows how much roof tile frags and bigger pottery shards sticks in the potatoe harvester every harvest. It will fill a trailer....

mein Herr, do you ever get tired of just finding great stuff?

don't you long for the days we have, digging pull tabs and clad?

 

[mindcrime1988]

Always a good feeling when you are still able to pull finds from an area you've detected for so long. Just goes to show a place is never hunted out.
