Had a major bucket lister on the weekend. I dug my first Roman silver coin.
Digging a denarius of any kind has been on the top of my bucket list ever since I moved to Europe over a year ago and I always thought I would never find one given my current luck but even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.
Its a denarius of the emperor Elagabalus and dates to 218-222 AD making it my new oldest silver coin by around 1677 years![headbang :headbang: :headbang:](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/headbang.gif)

I also got another unidentifiable Roman bronze coin (unless you can see something I cant.)
