Hello everybody
At last we managed to get out for a days hunting the day didn't start that good though a puncture on the Jeep put paid to a early start We finally got to a couple of fields we have been watching over the Winter, expecting them to have both been ploughed by now...they had but were both way to rough to detect
We adopted plan B and slipped back onto the Roman Villa site, although this field has yielded pretty poor results this year, it always has the potential to give-up something SPETACULAR...today it did...for me
Celtic Gold Stater .....Corieltavi Inscribed Stater VOLISIOS DVMNOCOVEROS..AD 20-35... I'm still in shock, I couldn't post last night, due to a Computer Virus ...and it didn't stop there
Michael chipped in with a broken Roman Silver, then a full one I plucked a cut half Hammered(long cross)..
Then Michael had his find of the day...a Viking embedded coin weight (needs carefull cleaning) these are a quite rare item and fetch a few quid
Next it was me turn with a nice Roman Silver laying right on the top not quite sure yet of the ID, needs a bit of cleaning, I will update the post as time Goes on
Anyway enjoy the pictures of our AMAZING 5 hours detecting the Yorkshire soil
Here is some imformation on Viking Coin weights
