New Roman Coin Scatter...

[CRUSADER]

Yesterday we spent a little time driving around checking the state of the fields. We came back to our best option, right now, & did a small area where we got 6 scrappies. I then wanted to check another field that we have tried a couple of times before without success, but I felt sure that the scatter should extend in that direction. One reason/theory, I have, is a track-way leading to a Roman Road. For some reason the first few runs were blank & just as it was getting dark we came into a patch of coins - 8. Some bigger one's so I hope tomorrow it continues & doesn't just stop.

Your finds are amazing over there. Always blows me away. What is the oldest coin youve found? Roman?

Nice Hammered Silver Cru, and even sweeter as a random find. I get a pang of jealousy whenever I see you or others dig that good stuff.

Nice hammie and Roman coins-well done

Nice job sniffing out that new patch of coins. Hope you get into a really productive area. BTW - what is the significance of the larger coins?

When you get the largest denomination of Roman Coin (not easily lost) then your hoping a Silver is not far way. They are also 1st-2nd C AD, so could indicate a long occupation, which then increases the coin losses.

Do you have a museum?
I would love to see your collection.

Nearly, its called my spare room.

Can you send a picture of the back side of the two large coins? I may be able to help you identify them. I just found one similar and did a lot of research on them. This is mine......

Cru'Dad is a master IDer he records all the Roman Coins to the British Museum(BM) standard & we record about half of our coins directly with the BM. About 500 a year (out of the 1000 or so we find), of which he is the first identifier, the second being the BM coin department expert.
So no for a reverse picture it is Faustina Junior, with SPES reverse.

No-one is every due a Gold Hammered, as they are the rarest of all the Gold coin types. Most would be lucky to get 1 in a lifetime, so now you have talked it up, lets live in hope.

Another great silver find...i still get excited when I see a 100 year old coin in the dirt...probably keel over if I got something like that!
