The sheer amount of coins and piles of scrappies you pull out are amazing...love the bronze, 1st photo, bottom right...what's the history on that? Looks like he's holding a spear? Thanks for sharing!

A museum dedicated strictly to metal detectorists would be cool...but I imagine the best finds are already sitting at the British museum...

And I'm curious what you do with the scrappies...
Thanks!

Once again congratulations!... It is truly incredible the quality and quantity of your finds . I know there is a lot of hard but enjoyable work that goes into it.What would the British Museum keep from this specific haul...They must have run out of space long ago

It's Victorinus, an Emperor we don't get that often.
The reverse is Mars.

Thanks!

I separate the slightly better ones with some detail & give them away when Cru'dad & I are doing displays or history talks. They real scrappy ones I have in a big tub.

They will keep NOTHING from this, as I'm not legally required to report any of it, & I'm not at the stage yet of donating.
