I'm Marlee from Tunisia, and for the past year, I've been bitten by the treasure hunting bug! The rich history of this land whispers of hidden secrets, and I'm determined to unearth some of them.
The problem? Finding reliable information and experienced partners seems impossible. Everyone I...
Hi guys! I have already experienced you are professionals! Can you tell me the ID of these two? Im surely know they are Maximianus because these were the 3. And 4. that I found of these sacra monet and maximianus type coins on the same place..
Delayed start to the day as heavy rain in the morning, but never daunted we decided to drive over to the field of dreams and see how it went.
Well, what can I say, this is the same field as last week, but we went up into a corner near the pond, that we hadn’t really done, the stubble is...
Hi all,
These two unusual 'banana' shaped iron objects were found on a farm field, Europe. Other finds were a range of iron objects (including modern) and a Roman hob nail (ID'ed on this forum).
Material: Iron. 6 cm (2.36 inches) & 7 cm (2.75 inches).
Thanks in advance,
Kaj
Hey all,
First post on this forum of my first and last 'hunt' of 2022. I stumbled across a field with unusual crop marks. A two-day search followed in an attempt to find out more about this place. The results were somewhat disappointing. A pile of iron (lots of UO's - Unidentified objects -)...
After the excitement of finding the Roman yesterday we headed back to the location and spent the day gridding around the area…
Lead…. Big ugly lead… pic of the bits I found, himself had about the same which I let him keep 😆.
Along the way musket balls, lead thingy’s couple of buttons, and a...

I had a great 2020 and despite all the lockdowns I still managed a few good outings.
With this being my first full year in Europe I am very happy with the quality of some of my finds. I'm still kinda stuck in the post-medieval era for the most part but a few lucky digs have been able to push...
I got lucky again and found another Roman bronze coin in my favorite field in western mainland Europe.
It measures around 23-24mm in diameter.
The small bit of lettering on the obverse reads NVSP(possibly an E after that)
The small bit of lettering on the reverse reads (possibly AH)AT
The style...
I found this Roman coin in Western mainland Europe.
It is around 25 millimeters in diameter and made of bronze.
I can see the outline of a bust on the obverse but I have no idea who it might be.
The reverse is blank.
My guess is 2nd century but that's a guess.
Any help is appreciated...
Had a major bucket lister on the weekend. I dug my first Roman silver coin.:hello2: Digging a denarius of any kind has been on the top of my bucket list ever since I moved to Europe over a year ago and I always thought I would never find one given my current luck but even a blind squirrel...
I found this coin in western mainland Europe.
I know it's a Roman Denarius but I don't know the emperor.
I think it might be Elagabalus but I don't know for sure.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
So I have this object and I am not sure what it is. It looks like some sort of ashtray to me. There are also human figures carved all around it (Roman perhaps?). The bottom is flat and smooth. I can't notice any markings on it. I'm also not sure what type of material it's made of. Any idea what...
I recently found this mount of a face that I've had various opinions on ranging from Roman,Saxon,medieval,Tudor even have been told it's a religious artifact of Martin Luther! So I'm really stumped and would really appreciate any help of a certain id
I had one of my best months ever detecting and even dug a couple bucketlisters. This is not everything, only the better finds. I left all the bag seals and spoon handles in their display cases.
A few things I managed to find were as follows
Half of a smaller Roman coin (My first Roman coin...
I have found these pieces of whatever it is in a couple different fields around my area. The area is riddled with roman sites but i dont know if they are from that period or what they are.
A coupke of buddies and I went out detecting the other day and i found a roman coin. I believe it to be silver but cant find a match to both front and back online. Hoping someone here might know. As far as i can gather i think its valentinian on the front. Any help is appreciated
Hi guys, new member here!
Found this while detecting with my cheap detector, could you please help me ID it?
I've done some research myself, and I think it's a roman lead seal/ring. But I would need some experts help from here.
Thanks!
Hello members.
Could someone please try to help me identify the meaning of these engravings i found in a remote place ? it must be greek or roman.
old men says they are sure there is gold somwhere.
Maybe there is other symbols i didnt notice
this stone is found 20 meters to the right side of...
I don't know if these photos will show up; this is my first post.
This coin was in a huge Antique lot of jewelry I bought.
Is this a real coin someone made into a clip? The back side has the same writing as a real one from what I can see (If I did my research right!). Did someone do this many...
Last Thursday's Roman Hunt
I took the day off last Thursday as the weather was fantastic, and went up to my usual hunting grounds about an hour from home. But this time, I moved over into a newly plowed field and searched it for about two hours. I found two Roman coins and an intact set of...
Purchased at estate sale of old house owned by church for 150+ years in Wisconsin. Closest thing I can relate it too is a Roman victory medal. Made of bronze. Any ideas on age or origin? Any value? Thanks.
As I live in the US, I can't really detect for Roman/Byzantine artifacts on a daily basis. I'm just curious, what do you guys look for in a seller that specializes in selling artifacts, especially ancient ones? I already bought these online earlier today:
Thank you guys for your time, I...
Greetings to everyone.
I hope I write in the right place, and that someone can help me identify these pottery shards I found today. The site the items were found on, was subject to archaeological excavations long ago, and supposedly held a Roman tower (watch tower I guess) between two well...
Attached are images of a Roman ring I recently acquired at an artifact show. Upon looking at it further, in my opinion it appears to be a seal ring. My first question, is it a seal ring? If so, can anyone identify what the seal may represent?
Secondly, I'm estimating the ring be from the second...
Yesterday I bought a roman silver coin from a dealer near me, I don't really know much about them but I wanted to have one for my collection. I went online and did some research. I understand that roman silver coins had a set weight to them, but mine is over weight? It's suppose to weigh 3.5-3.8...
I found this lovely 11th century Byzantine lead seal with my older Whites 5900 di/Pro machine in the area of Missis, Turkey. These are not the seals used to mark wax, but rather, these are seals that were used to secure official government (church) documents and packages.
During the...
Found this platter in my back yard as a kid and stored it away as my treasure. I recently rediscovered my find. I have looked over the entire thing and can not find any makers mark or silver mark, only the numbers on the back (1830 16). Under some of the deeper scratches, it still appears to be...
Good day to everyone :D
I would like to ask if anyone has extensive knowledge on Ottoman Turks, Jewish, and roman signs and symbols..???
I am from Jordan and we have a huge number of sites where there are many markings and symbols that lead to many findings (gold and silver coins, gold statues...
