Hoping that everybuddy is doing fine, here are the results of a long exploration.
It was not a routine swinging day, it was more an exploration of a remote area. The whole morning produced only a few coins, 2nd BC - 1st AD. Nothing special.
The best part was In the afternoon, in the west side of the hill. There were more signs of humans. A lot of lead, pottery, nails, arrows and other iron stuff.
First came out the medallion. It looks a simple Roman or even earlier. Not far from that I found the silver drachm. Actually it is written in "Greek" and mostly it is considered a Greek coin but that's a wrong approach. Greek has never been a tribe, a population, ethnicity or nation. Probably it was the name of the peninsula which was inhabited by different famous tribes.
ILLYRIA, Dyrrhachion. Circa 250-200 BC. AR Drachm (17.5mm, 2.91 g, 1h). Meniskos and Archippos. magistrates. Cow standing right, head reverted, suckling calf; MENIΣKOΣ above, rudder in exergue / Double stellate pattern in double linear quadrangle; ΔY[P] above, [AP]-XIΠ-ΠOΣ around.
A very short clip
The best to you
