roman coin

I recently wrote blog about a friend of mine who found this extremely old coin in the middle of the United States. As far as I know, this is the oldest coin unearthed metal detecting in the U.S. to date. This is not my find but one of a very good friend who gave me permission to write about...

I'm not even sure they are Roman, but a friend in England who saw them first hand said they were most likely a Dupondius and a Sesturtius. OK this was my second or third outing the the field in Devon where I previously unearthed the beautiful Carnelian Domed Silver Thimble. We were on holiday...
