Firstly welcome to Tnet. Something I forgot to say on your first linked post.
You would get far more out of this if you wrote a small explanation & pictures on here. Not only would more people around the world see & enjoy it but if you had a What Is It item we would ID it for you.(we have the best researchers & specialist of any site in the world) I would even give full attributions to any Roman coins you struggle to ID, as Cru'dad is first identifier for the British Museum & we record about 500 of our 1200 we find every year direct with the coin department. (bypassing the PAS who have less knowledge)
Its up to you but I ignore the many people who have come & gone with lazy redirection links to a site I don't use.
I look forward to another fellow UKer sharing their finds on here, we used to have many more members but they come & go.

I have to say I'm not a fan of either, with my techno-phobia its amazing I'm on here. Not on facebook (hate it), not a fan of utube & never owned a mobile phone. But I do own plenty of History.....lol

You are really lucky, your click bait worked on Cru'dad. I've never know him to watch a vid. But as he has an interest in Roman Coins & we like the silver ones (no surprises), he took a look.
Here is his comments:

'' On one of the new guy Luke’s video the Roman silver seems to be a GORDIAN III Antoninianus

Obverse: IMP CAES MANT GORDIANVS AVG radiate, draped & Cuirassed (sometimes indistinct) bust right
Reverse: (looks likely to be) AEQVITAS AVG Aequitas standing left holding scales and cornucopiae
If so: Rome Mint AD239 having 42-48% silver and weighing circa 4.2 to 4.5 grams

Ref; Sears Vol III pg 117 No 8600''

He is 100% sure of the Obverse, 90% sure on the Reverse.

Welcome to the site! Looks like you got yourself a nice coin! I'm like many others on here, i don't follow links and watch vids posted. But i like good pictures and a good story behind the finds.
Great knowledge is shared here and often the most weird finds get an ID from someone. Have fun here and i'm looking forward to see more from what you get out of the ground.
