Barley Stubble Field 2 - Day 3...OUR OLDEST COIN EVER!!!

[CRUSADER]

First picture is Dads last outing & includes a few scrappies, leather workers palm guard, & Livery button.

We spent 4 hours today & just about finished the best area of the field.

Another amazing result (3 out of 3 for me: Mark Antony, Lizzy Large Flan, & Celtic Potin)

16 Scrappies
3 Broken Roman Fibula bits
Roman Hobnail (just after I said I only have a few)
Small Roman Steelyard Weight
George II Pan/Trade Weight
2 Lead Tokens

My/our oldest coin ever & part of the earliest type of coins ever minted in Britain (100BC being the oldest):
80-50BC - Cantii Potin, Angular bull type. Amazing condition!!!
I never thought it possible because these are from a tribe in Kent & I'm nowhere near the tribal boundry!

Big Congrats on the Oldie! If I recovered one over here I'd assume it was an iron pot patch

Hi CRUSADER,

Love your posts, I found an item similar in design and metal composition to the one I've circled in your photo while diving and detecting in the USA, any idea what it is?

Yeap, its the top off an 18th C tobacco box lid.
