Hello friends!
Yesterday, I go hunting for three hours in some areas rich in finds of the Middle Ages, here and found many things Medieval hammered and very good lately, is an area that has hunt last year that is very large and the first visits to conduct tube very unlucky.
Today :
I have a Iberian Bronze coin , is a warrior on horseback with the lance of approximately 200/180 BC.
one coin of 1810 (the coins of the 19th century most beloved by collectors like me .... ) that were used during the Napoleonic wars and is very well preserved.

bells, weights and stuff.
Greetings!

You're lucky with horsepeople
I share fascination with the Napoleonic era artefacts. However, the French undug copper seems to be greener than the British one. I've recently pulled out Geo III coin along with a French military regimental button from the same site. Geo looks perfect but the button is covered in greenish crust

Hello tutuara ...
the green patina of the coin is correct, it will eventually become darker., when the coins are not very valuable and reliefs have hidden , tightly and clean the patina so that you can appreciate the relief, dates etc ... all these coins are Spanish.
