HWood Roman Site...

[CRUSADER]

Sticking to the strategy we are starting this better Site at the low yield end. (ie leave the best to last)
After gridding 2 hrs 45 mins I'm very happy with our result. I got 15 Roman Coins & my mate had 10.
Also a Roman Steelyard Weight & a Plate Brooch (Duck type with missing head).
Had my first Roman Cattle Horn showing a small cut mark.

This will be our last hunt of the year, see you in the New year, so happy hunting & happy holidays...

Is the large 'chi-rho' coin either Magnentius or Decentius?

Yes a Follis of one of them but not enough letters to narrow down further.

Roman cattle horn...? What's the background on that? What a great curio piece. Hope you have a merry Christmas and a prosperous New year!

 

[Mackaydon]

When convenient, can you post a pic of the reverse side of the 'chi-rho' coin?
Thanks,

Proably a by product of food & using the outer layer of the horn for other purposes.

UPDATE:
I think the Sestertius is Trajian, like this one:

Trajan. 98-117 AD. AE Sestertius, 32mm. Struck ca 104-107 AD. IMP CAES NERVAE TRAIANO AVG GER DAC PM TRP COS V P P, laureate head right, slight drapery on left shoulder / S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI, S-C across fields, AQVA TRAIANA in exergue, the genius of the Aqua Traiana reclining left, elbow resting on urn from which water flows, holding reed in right hand; all under an arched grotto.

Plus the Emperor on Horse back is this one:

Magnentius, AE3, 21 mm (smaller module type), Lyons. AD 350-353. 3.93 g. DN MAGNEN-TIVS PF AVG, bare-headed, draped, cuirassed bust right, A behind head / GLORIA ROMANORVM, emperor on horseback galloping right, no shield, wielding spear at a bare-headed enemy half-kneeling before the horse, broken spear and shield beneath the horse.

You seem to find many coins. I guess this was before pockets were invented?

Yeap no pockets. But if you have 400 years of the odd coin loss it soon adds up.
