This is mark's 2nd gold coin of the trip, and what a coin. The roman expert said it is a very pricy coin and will go up for auction. the procedes will be split between Mark and the farmer. Gold Aurius of Claudius 54 AD



What a blast!

In Sears 2001 Vol 1 the prices quoted were VF $2,800 and EF $7,200. Must be a $5000 coin easy.


Question to the team:

We find 1 Roman Silver in a field for every 50-70 Bronze Coins, & of the 6000++ Bronze & couple of hundred silver, I've not had 1 gold. So what sort of site was it in the Roman period? Plus how much Roman stuff did you get from that field?
