Medieval and Roman

[robfinds]

Had these late this aft after work. The field was still in stubble so finds were few and hard to come by. The coin is late Roman, the large lead find is a loom weight,the small lead item is a medieval token. Called into a country pub on the way home and had a nice pint of beer (the pub dates back 400 years).
Good hunting one and all.

Pretty good detail on the roman. Keep on searching

NICE! I wish I could find some REAL old stuff around here in the states like that! Maybe I need to jump the lake over their to do some hunting sometime!

Nice finds! Could the larger lead piece be a spindle whorl? I have found several of them here in Germany. HH, Mike

Heh Rob did you pay for your pint with the Roman or Lead token

Rob,
Have you ID-ed the Roman coin?
Don.....

How cool is that?

Very interesting. What is the deal with all of the Pagan geometry on the much later utilitarian objects?

Perhaps the "old way's" still had an influence on every day life back then.

Tried to but they wouldn't take them.

No Don, it would probably be a local copy of an official coin.

Yeap, Local "Barbarous" Imitation dating to late 4th century.

The whorl is one of the best I have seen on here

That spindle whorl is incredible.

The Roman is in good shape.


And the evening in the pub sounds like a refreshing finish.



Cheers,
