One of the ways I like to hunt is detecting the old roads. If the road is really old it may present some interesting finds. Besides in summer there is high grass on fields and forests so it difficult to search there. And walking on the road at this time is the real plesure.
So I choosed a road in the pine forest. Splendid air! Only mosquito eated me vigorously :help:
But they cant stop me because:


The woman on the silver coin is Crispina Augusta - the Rome empress. She ruled in 177-183 A.D. It probably the oldest coin I ever have found till now
The Scythian tip is dated by 5-6th century B.C. There are three cross-section lines at the top of it - as they say "grafitty" - the signs that identificated the tip as belonging to the concrete person

Great finds and a great strategy :)

Welcome to TNet Andros!

Bud'mo!
 
Losing a pint of blood to some 'skeeters to get those finds was worth it. The coin was a good find (who could turn away silver) but the arrowhead? Brilliant.
 
very impressive point.
congrats on your oldest coin. she's a looker!

Yea, bukcle is nise - there is a vegetative ornament on it. It will become more visible after I clean the finding. The thing under the bukcle is a kind of overlay (but Im not sure for this - never had found such gadget)
