Hi All......spilt beer on my key board last night hence the delay in posting my weekend finds, and again it turned out to be a Silver weekend :o I kicked off the search with a couple of hammered Silver coins of Edward 1 in reasonable condition this takes my hammered count to 33 for the year :) the first Roman Silver turned out to be my best ever a stunning Antoninus Pius AD138-161 with superb detailing, the second Silver turned out to be his wife Faustina (died AD141) together again after over 1600years :'(

Beautiful coins...congrats. I wish we could find coins that old over here but I guess it gives me a reason to plan a trip over the pond one day.

WOW ....they come out of the ground like that? :o
The first roman did....but a few of the outher silvers we have found have had a lot of build up of iron mineralization on them and they take a bit of cleaning.
 
What a beautiful Butterfly!! :D OK, those silvers are kind of neat also. ;) Congratulations on a great weekend of very old silver finds!!

PS: Banner? :thumbsup:
 
Nice finds, you've had a great haul of Roman silver!
What I am most astonished by however, is the clear blue sky, all it did was rain when I was living in your part of the world!

Hi DJ...this weekends weather has been the best so far this year hence all the butterflys :icon_scratch:
 
Amazing detail on that one! Beautiful coins :thumbsup:
 
Wow...that has GOT to be a banner find...

Nothing prettier than seeing the Deere's in the fields!!!
 
Those are some great finds. Seeing the finds that can be made overseas get me salivating sometimes. Maybe someday I'll get over there and dig some myself. Beautiful silver!! :icon_sunny:
