STUNNING ROMAN SILVER !!!!

[Silver Searcher]

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 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

Hi...nearly right it's actually Salus feeding Serpent Arising from Alter, but thanks for looking (just looked again actually your right and I am wrong the both reverses are quite similar, wildwinds is the site I use to ID Roman coins it's a great site. TK.

Hi Dave...I'v just finished a four hour hunt on the same field and had nothing, I think it's the first time I have come off with nothing to show but some times as you know it just goes like that
