My lost treasure

[Brett2259]

I completely forgot that I had treasure that I found many years ago WITHOUT a detector. The silver heart was found in a bush at a park. The coins were found at a hotel AFTER a coin show exhibit. I wish I new what some of them are.

What's the date on the American penny? And mintmark ( D , S)? Also I believe the Coin three over from the left is an ancient Roman or Greek Silver coin if not a repro. If authenticated you may be able to buy a new detector or more with it. I have never seen one of those coins so big. Supa sweet finds!

This one is a Greek old coin or replica.I mean real old.
If you post big picture I will be sure.

I will check on the penny. The greek or Roman coin feels very heavy and comes up as a 50 cent piece on my detector. I will have to check on authenticity.

a few Old english coins there I see that looks like a greek coin to myself

Is this the same as your coin:

I can't tell from your picture if it matches the above one.

It definitely looks a lot like Alexander the Great.

Here are some more Alexander the Great links with potential images of your coin:

and I got the above from Google image search using this command:

If its real, then your coin is about 2300-2400 years old. Gotta be your oldest find to date.
