Big nice old Lady!

One of the better fields had a deep plow recently. We hit that field since 2012 and called it almost finished. Now, with the deep plow some stuff showed up again. It was an ankle breaker and needs to be rolled down to get better results but it was worth the try.
Best find was a Sestercius of Faustina the elder.
Diva Faustina I AE Sestertius. Rome Mint 147 AD. Obverse: DIVA FAVSTINA, draped bust right. Reverse: CONSECRATIO S-C, Vesta standing left, sacrificing out of patera over lighted altar and holding long torch. RIC: 1130. Size: 33mm

How cool is that? You digging that 147AD. Heck I'd be elated to break into the 1700's club. I'd take a 1799, I'm not picky.

If they only were in better shape. You rarely get an album coin...

Congrats, I still have to break into the 1600's!

1600s for you is like getting Roman Republic coins here. It don't happen that often, but possible! Wish you luck!
