Hi mates.
I'm back in action after two months. Time after time I've been searching about ancient and lost cities. I red about a very ancient one but only on one old historical book. I couldn't find any other info and it was even hard to decide where to look for it. Even though I jumped on the car and headed to the hills. New roads are build over the old one. Olive trees are very helpful too but the instinct is great. I stoped near some old olive trees to reflect. I was just looking around when I noticed some pot fragments. They looked old and I smiled at them. The hardest part was to decide where to begin. Once I began the coins led me to each other.
Because of the difficult terrain I got tired in 7 hours but turning back home with more than sixty coins and other bronze stuff was great.
Thanks guys for reading. If you have any idea about the coins you are welcome.

Congrats on finding another very old site. Can't help with the coins as they all look at least 150BC++ That silver looking one with Greek writing on it would be a good place to start as it seems the most IDable one.
 

Were the weights on top of the ground ?

WOW Vince. Thanks for sharing...
 

Yes, they were. So they were used as weights?
 

Thanks Crue. I tried to ID that silver but on internet couldn't find any clues.
 

Wow Vince! Awesome historical coins and finds. Great job.
 

Welcome back!

Awesome finds as usual. Congrats and good luck!
 

Congrats on some really old finds thanks for sharing
 

I would love to be able to hunt some old ground like that, congrats on some great finds!
 

Incredible digs! Throw a towel on that Mercedes, please!! :tongue3:
 

incredible old coins, I hope you figure them out.
 

Woohoo you're back! Thanks for sharing more of your ancient discoveries!

I think I found a match for the silver coin:

D1aErAristenosDemiTh.webp
ΕΡ - ΑΡΙΣΤΗΝΟΣ Dyrrhachian Class D1a hemidrachma. Obv. Forepart of cow. Rev. Vertically arranged double stellate pattern in line circle. ΔΥΡ above, ΑΡΙΣ-club-ΤΗΝΟΣ around. 1.48 g, 13.1 mm. Ceka 152, Meta Ι/3 = Osijek 55. This is the half drachma pair of the EP-APIΣTHNOΣ Class D1a drachma, SNG Cop 444 = Meta I/3, which has the usual reverse pattern.

From: "Illyrian coins"

Also, the reverse side coin in image 10 kinda looks like one from Bruttium, but it's a bit crusty and I'm just a noob so who knows.
 

Awesome finds! Big congratulations!
 

Amazing discovery! I would dig the heck out of that place! I hope you find more. Jealous..

Hi Plumbata. It's always a pleasure to meet with you guys :).
Wow, i thought about the half of Drachm, because of the front half of the cow but I didn't have any results. Thanks mate! :)
I thing the other coin can be a Macedonian coin of Antigone Gonata.
