Fav Field - GOT IT!!! - UPDATED Full ID

[CRUSADER]

The Roman Silver that is......it may not be the best looking Denarius but its my first this year & I have worked hard to find it. (Dad has had 5, so we are within spitting distance of beating our 8 last year).

Denarius of Severius Alexander circa AD222 Yeah!!!!!!!!!

8 bronzes is a good short hunt total.

This will probably be our last time on this field until next year. This field keeps its name for now

UPDATED:
I had trouble IDing the reverse type, so I left it to Dad to research:

'Recognised the pileus shape being held. This is a LIBERTAS AVG with star in left field. Sears 7880. With her holding spear this was an Antioch mint of AD222. The AD222 Rome minted version had a Cornucopia rather than spear. So this one right at beginning of his reign.'

I'm always glad when he does, specially as I have had about 200 of the bronze this year (to his 130ish). That gold celtic he had was unbelievable. We have a great laugh trying to out do each other, but all it does in the end is strengthen the team finds.

The silvers this year have been the worst conditioned lot we have had, maybe next year there will be some nicer examples (who knows)

I never said it was the only thing. I find 70% of all the artefacts, Dad just has this ability to occasionally come up with a star find. Which pleases me no end as I keep all his stuff (other than the pieces we give the farmers). Plus this is the first year he has found more Roman Silver.
