Back in the Game - Fan's Roman Site...

[CRUSADER]

Finally we are back in our stride with this Roman Settlement next to the Metal Working area. We gridded a huge area with very little trash & no buttons! Got lots of good finds in the 6 hour 15 mins hunt;

28 Roman Coins
19th C Sauce Bottle top (glass)
Tudor Clothes Fastener
Tudor bent Strap-end
Tudor Buckle
Roman Nail Cleaner (best of its type)
Roman Bronze Bead
Fibula
2 Roman Rings, 1 1st C AD Romano-Celtic
My first coin & deepest of the day (below plough depth, that's why its so nice) - Maximinus II Trier Mint Follis AD310-13.

Wow! Stunner!!

They made really nice coins in Trier... Perfect day! That bottle top is gorgeous! Never seen such a big piece coming out of a plowed field.

Nice example.
I assume you brought it?(if not nice save) Much easier to buy a cheap example of this relatively common coin (£10 ish) than to find one.

It's a numbers game to get quality like that. It's not only has to have been lost soon after arriving in the UK, but it has to survive the ploughing & chemicals. Odds are against it.........

The glass is very nice

UPDATE:
One of the Roman coins might be another extremely rare one, awaiting the expert opinion!

Agreed. I've been scouring Daytona Beach for years and have yet to find one.

Nice Follis Cru,

Condition as a dug coin is nuts, as always stunning Roman relics
