I can see an angel!

[vince76]

Today I could find more than 40 coins, some loom weights, a big square lead piece, a bronze arrow head, part of an ottoman ring, a silver ottoman ring, an Illyrian silver coin 200-100 BC and other stuff.
Searching for them up and down the hill is not so easy but fortunately im still young.


Here I can see an angel. On the other side I can hardly notice an ancient profile, probably Greek.

[Kray Gelder]

Oh yes! Super nice REALLY old finds. The natives here were still sharpening rocks, when people over there were dropping those treasures. So cool!

Your halved coin (dated in Arabic 1200; our 1786) is from the Ottoman Empire during the reign of Abdul Hamid I (1774-1789).
The image on the coin's other side is called a 'tughra'; a calligraphic monogram (signature) of the sultan.
Each sultan had his own distinctive monogram.

I believe your 'angle' coin might show Alexander the Great on the obverse and this 'angel'side depicts Nike, holding a wreath in her right hand and a stylis in her left.
To her left would be a trident head downward.

Another of your coins features a double stellate pattern; usuallly associated with a Dyrrhachium, Illyria Drachma; like these:

More great finds, congratulations! The "angel" is Nike, goddess of victory, and is reminiscent of coins from Pontos or Cilicia but who knows.

That bronze arrowhead is great, and it may be just the light playing tricks but it appears to have a monogram or design in the center, similar to one I bought recently that I'm attaching a picture of (in the middle). Mine was a good price but the next one the seller sold went for 115 dollars, so if yours is also marked it is certainly better than the average tip!

I'd like to do more research on the style, they seem very heavy for bronze arrowheads so maybe they are the tips to the deadly kestros or cestrosphendone darts? I bet there is an archaeological report with good info but I haven't found it yet.

Your angle coin is mostlikly of victory, a roman coin from around 350 A.D. Mostlikly with constans, constantine,constantineII or anyone with a C depicted on it.

You are trekking over some seriously old history over there. Amazing coin and relic treasures. Love that ornate fancy buckle. Thanks for sharing. Go get the rest!

Thanks Don. Ottoman empire ruled here for more than 600 years and I think I should find more coin but because of their weight it is not easy to find them.

Thanks a lot Don. I was not sure were to begin searching! I tried to find another similar on Google but I couldn't. Only one matches perfectly but it is on gold.
