Stunning Roman Silver...

[CRUSADER]

This is a two day post, Friday (5.5 hours) & today 4 hours 45 minutes.

On Friday we finished gridding the whole of the 6th Roman Site. Very small affair with just another 8 coins coming off, but at least 1 was an ablum quality one.
Today we hunted on the opposite side of the brook to the 2 Roman Sites in the hope there was one over there taking advantage of the same water source. It was a bust, so another field crossed off the list.
We then decided to push the limits of the well hunted Roman Site, only to find out it didn't extend any further. This only left us 1 option. Go back over the main site but start on the very edge where we haven't gone over it so much. This proved to work out with Cru'Dad's stunning Roman Silver. Any silver off this site is not that normal, & this one meant we have now got 27 for the year which is our best ever 1 year total! (Beating 26)

Lead Leather Workers Palm Guard (good condition)
14th C Buckle

For a change its was Cru'Dads find but very close to the top in a constantly ploughed field. Who knows the spring planting may have hit it, because up until now, its a true survivor.

Just amazing to be able to dig artifacts that far back! Have you guys ever discovered a hoard?

We had some pretty good roman silvers in our time, in fact this year has been our best year for the quantity of quality, but I think this beats them all. It almost has a mint lustre look to it. Only shows slight wear in a couple of high spots on the Obverse only.

 

[celtic fox]

thats a cracker well done

 

[Loco-Digger]

Holy crap, I'd have a smile from ear to ear for a year if I dug one of those Constantius II AD 360 reduced Siliqua. Do you ever have a crappy hunt? Inquiring minds want to know...

You keep putting our 1600s coins to shame with finds like that. Another notch in your Roman silver belt - congrats!!

Amazing!

reading his threads makes me think that all those romans ever did was run around tossing coins in the air!
No wonder the empire fell
