Old Find Cleaned....Roman Silver.

[Silver Searcher]

Thought I would show you the coin that was found the same day I got the Gold Sovereign, this was actually found by Michael my detecting buddy

At the time it didn't get much interest maybe because of the Goldy, well now it's been cleaned and ID properly, and it's such a loverly coin I thought I would show you it again

Romn Silver Siliqua of ValantinianI, struck at Arles, Ad 364-367.

Pearl - Diamonded, drapped and cuirassed bust

Emperor standing facing, head right, holding

Jenolite

this coin also helps date our site, the oldest Roman was the Mark Antoney(Galley issue BC) I found, and now we have a late fourth century coin, this means the site, has seen Roman activity, almost the entire Roman period of Britain

Not full :P but it is there and could take years to find, I think this year will see a good ploughing going in, and then it might just turn up a Gold Roman Coin

Tank the coin was cleaned with Jenolite, which is a rust eater for cars, of course you have to diloute it or be very carefull with it
