Inscribed Celtic Gold Stater...Update....Full ID...

Silver Searcher · Feb 28, 2011

Hello everybody :headbang:

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).. :headbang:

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 :wink:

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 :icon_thumleft:

Anyway enjoy the pictures of our AMAZING 5 hours detecting the Yorkshire soil :notworthy:

Here is some imformation on Viking Coin weights :icon_thumleft:

Incredible finds like these from "you lot" are why I hope to realize (2012 is the plan) my dream of going on a Jimmy Sierra excursion to Norwich.

*Pre-Roman Invasion* Celtic gold Stater in phenomenal condition? One of perhaps 20 ever found?
I have no idea what to say except "CONGRATULATIONS & WELL DONE!!!"
