Hello my friends ! :hello:
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 :hello2: :hello2: :hello2: .... 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 ....

Hispan, YOu had another great hunt. Love the old pre-Jesus coin.
Have you got/can you make any defining pictures of the oriental holed coin? Have you i.d.ed it yet?
If you haven't, please email me a front and back shot of it, and I'll see if I can get a fix on it for you.
Great, great, great is all I can say.
