Hello everybody.
i turned back to where i found the coin silver from 200-100 BC. I promised to myself that i would go slowly. It was hard to take it easy. My nose became red and t-shirt wet. But i wouldn't come back home with empty pockets.
First i found a big piece of bronze and then another one smaller. I was praying to find other silver coins when a bronze one came out.
The soil was very hard to dig but i wouldn't give up.
Another one came out. It looked beautiful. A very beautiful portrait on it. I was amazed.
Here are the pics of them and other stuff.
Thank you for watching.
Metal detecting is great :).

Antigonus Gonatus, 277-234 BC, AE 18 mm. Helmeted head of Athena head right / B-A, Pan erecting trophy right, Q to right, ANT monogram below.

Ciao Vince,

Very nice finds, the Apollo is in very good shape. Did you do this in one day?

Looks like another banner.

Yes mate, i think if i could search more i would have more results but it was very hot. When i got back home i was exhausted.
