[HISPAN]

Hello my friends !
Today has two hours of hunting , I started in a field in the valley of vineyards but after 15 minutes I realized I had already been done by other hunters ... and moved to the next field, another field I was much better and I could find lots of pre-Roman pottery and a PreRoman coin circa 160-140 BC .... these coins are the first to be made ​​in my country and belong to the Iberian period and the city of "Kese " .On the obverse appears Head of Warrior and the reverse a horseman riding showing an olive branch, which is the symbol of peace in antiquity, and is the way to know that this coin was issued in a period of peace, just before the war began with the early Romans. is written under the name of the city (Kesse) but is in Iberian alphabet (yet to be deciphered).
Also a medieval Harnes mount with the shield of Catalonia and a few things more ....

Dang! That's some awesome stuff right there. The coin is in mighty good shape for being over 2000 years old.

He had lost 22 centuries there in the middle of a field of mud, between stones and crap .... Blessed to Metal Detection .

I don't know about shaun being that old, but if it was a can of Stella that age, I bet he'd still drink it . Nice finds "H", you really do keep my enthusiasm up for detecting , especially when I'm suffering from Man Flu, much worse than anything a woman can suffer from

The flu is normal in here, a disease that arises with the sudden change climate and temperature. The best thing for the flu is get plenty of sleep (or rest in bed) and make hot lemonade with honey. Do not have sex of any kind, to regain strength.

Could be a whole day talking about these coins are very interesting ..... more things.
The Iberians before the Romans arrived in Spain did not use coins, these coins were made to pay for defense.
Nobody knows who is the head that is displayed on the front, some people say it's Julius Caesar and others say they are pre-roman Heads, The helmet is copied rider that the hulls of the goddess Athena that they in the same era in Greek coins.
They are very similar to the Greeks coins but with alphabet Iberian, The Iberians were not a never a country, there were several different tribes who shared the same religion .... something like the Phoenicians, were descendants of the Phoenicians.

of any kind is absolutely nothing ... NEVER! .= 0! for at least a week ...... you do not know how to endure, but you have to do.
