Roman Industrial Site - Day 4 - RARE SILVER !!!

CRUSADER · Feb 16, 2014

Just when you think things can't get any better, the sun comes out, the rain & wind stops & then you (in this case Dad) pops out a rare one in good nick!

10 Roman Bronze Coins
Broken Hod Hill Roman Brooch (1st C AD)
Nice Medieval Thimble 8-)

Saxon Stap End - Inlaid silver - circa 7-8th C :icon_thumright:

Silver Denarius of Clodius Albinus AD195-96 (only lasted a few months). Its not on wildwinds & I can only find one example on the whole net:
Clodius Albinus, Fall 195 or Early 196 - 19 February 196 A.D.
£250 coin all day long ($420) :headbang:

We have no other coin of the Emperor, in fact we had never heard of him. :laughing7:

Exactly. At the early sites we hunt here nice finds register across the entire conductivity spectrum so no need to waste time gawking at numbers. Dig it all! Oh, and I almost forgot - awesome find Cru!

That's exactly it, don't waste time. We swing over it, twice, & dig.

Beautiful rare silver Cru, I like the thimble as well . It is hard to get the nice old ones in most places.

Very nice indeed! Just getting the great looking thimble and the strap end that looks a little zoomorphic would be a alright day, the silver put it right up there as a great day out.
