Back from Europe

[PANNONIAN]

Hi Guys,
Recently came back from my annual trip from Europe. I think i did pretty good.Managed to dug up a Byzantine gold solidus, (Flavius Mauricius Tiberius 582-608) A handfull of roman bronze, 3 Denarii, 3 antoniani, some hammered silver, buckles, roman keyring, some bronze age bits, and arrow heads.Here is some pictures, enjoy .

I have yet to pull any gold from the ground. You have found a piece that in my opinion is better than an American coin. You can hunt for USA gold tomorrow. When will you have a chance to hunt for Roman gold again?


Very nice, VPR

What brand of Tesoro is it?Tejon?

Yes A UK modefied Tejon

Very impressive indeed and a well deserved banner coin. Can you give us a few closeups on some of the other items pictured, especially that roman key ring. I bet those arent found too often and what would era in romes history would the ring date to? thanks

Banner that gold coin again!..And what are some of the uses of the pieces, like the box and the decorated charm jewelery piece. And some dates if you know them would be nice too. I love that box.

Next year I'm hitting the corn and wheat fields, after I clean out the local old house sites and other sites I have my eye on, that I already have permission to play around on.

The "box" is a pedestal for a bronze statue from close you can see where the two legs used to be. The charm looking pieces are most likely belt decorations.Some rings and the bulky ring looking thing is actually is a silver ring just out of the cast,and never been finished. Didn't looked silver almost throw ed away,but just didn't sounded like iron.All made around the 1-4Th century.The silver ring could be medieval Hey Constatinus this is the pedestal you missing from your statue??!!
