Roman Metal Working Site - Day 3...

[CRUSADER]

After my last outing I knew this 4 hour solo hunt would not follow suit but I just need to grid this massive site acre by acre until it comes good again.

15 Roman Coins
Bent Roman Balance Arm for some hand held scales
Lynch Pin?

Crusader, it's your fault. Not really, but digging those Romans is cool. Toward that end I bought some crusty ones to clean. I doubt if I'll ever get over there, you never know. Do you have a favored way of cleaning them? A lot has been published, but I'm sure some way work better than others.

I only use hot soapy water & then Renaissance Wax for the better ones.

Still a lot to find even in that difficult conditions.

That balance arm is really something!

Its only my 2nd example although my 1st had Roman numerals down the side.

Very nice results for the 4hrs. The scale arm find is interesting, were you able to make out what the numerals refered to on the previous one?

Quantities of weight I assume.
