Woke up at five o'clock. My mom had already prepared some food to take with me. In 40 mins I got to the same hill where I found last Sunday the big byzantine coin. Till 12 o'clock nothing special except this strange coin.

than some coins came one after one. They are more than 2100 years old and almost flat.
Near a small bush I had an iffy sound. It looked like a piece of bronze but cleaning it with the fingers was enough to see that it was cold. First I found only the biggest part so I had to search for the others. I missed the small piece on the center.

Gold Solidus, Justinian 527-565 AD.

And just before leaving I found this silver coin. No idea yet.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks Pepperj. The missing part is still there, I'm sure. One of these days it will be placed together with the rest of the family! :)

It would worth the effort to sift the soils right there to find it, but who knows for sure. Best of luck on the search.

I have already tried sifting but because of the little dirty stones it didn't work. I will take some water with me to wash what remains on the sift.
