Crusaderdad - 2 Hour Hunt - PLUS UPDATE

[CRUSADER]

Crusaderdad's first day of retirement. Spent the day starting the jobs he never had time for in the house
However, got out for a last go on the field we hit over the weekend.

Found 2 Roman scrappies
Early Medieval (possible Saxon) Lead Spindal Whorl. Possibly only our 5th & 3rd decorated type.

UPDATE ON ROMAN SILVER:

The broken silver roman I found yesterday seems to be an extremely rare unlisted & unpublished type(still might be valuable even in this state). Gunner & I are still fishing our contacts for an answer. This is what I agree so far with Gunner's help:
cica 4th century
Trier Mint - Germany
Constantinople's head on Obverse
X in wreath (could indicate a 10 year anniversary of ?)

What is strange & very unusual for a Roman Coin is no lengend on either side - so anonymous?

Gunner & I will update as soon as we get an answer, if there is one?

You made the Roman mint proud.

Are there any coins left in Rome?

Yeah, the ones the tourists buy

I don't see the coin you're referring to in your photos above. I'd love to see it.

Is it this one?

Great finds as usual, Crusader. Now that your dad has retired, he should be more available to hit those fields with you..he'll probably start to wonder how he ever found the time to work!

Sounds like your research is just as much fun as your hunts.
How do you know so much about the things you find?

Years of experiences, books, book writing friends, museums, local experts, internet, basically a thrust for historical knowledge.
