[HISPAN]

Another afternoon in the vineyards, today I have a hammered by King James II from the mint of Barcelona, a great medieval coin in good condition, it is not easy to find these hammered here, depending on the king are more or less scarce and finding them is almost nearly complete one in a year ... not be confused with other Kings hammered much more abundant .. some too, such as coins from later periods are abundant 16th century that Spain was already a trading power .. but not during the middle ages, these coins are much more scarce ... even more than Roman coins.
Also I have a small Roman coin (smaller than a penny) .. and a very nice circular 19th century buckle , three precious buttons and a Roman artifact shaped spearhead neck strap ... and stuff.
Happy return of the Christ, extraterrestrial visitation, end of the Mayan world or whatever you want to call !
Until next week!

This whole area of ​​vineyards already nearly exhausted .. one can give me some interesting things medieval and Roman, but not too much .... and I have a new area of vineyards, away from this which is much better .. but over an hour train from home ... only visitare one day a week .... when I finish all these fields continue hunt in U.S or Mexico .. XDXDXD

A great post, a great hunt and a great hunter. I love to see your posts Hispan, you find some very interesting artifacts.

I only put physical effort ... everything else were they our ancestors who left all this to tell us about their lives .

Very impressive finds Hispan! You always find a variety of interesting things, thanks for sharing..

Variety is the spice .... I show everything found in a normal hunting day .

Really neat finds!!
Do you have Bobcats there?

I thought it was a common domestic cat .. here are called wild cats (lynx) .. and are a species of felines in extinction ... I need to know that differences between the two cats has to communicate ... there are only a few ejempleres few wild Iberian lynx.

 

[kuger]

Appears feline of some sort,and judging by the size of the
"canine",teeth,sure looks like Lxynx....wild cat

 

[Digginbingo]

Wow! Thats some good detecting. Congrats

I whole heartedly agree. Ever time I read about people finding hammered coins I kind of envy their long history. If someone starts finding stuff like that over here its definitely going to change the history books.

I know you may have already looked this one area over extensively, but you might want to check out any areas in the vicinity that might have seemed not worthy of searching in the past. Just a thought. Happy Hunting!
