Well found and well earned Cru! So this specimen will end up in the museum? Look for more of those curved ditches!

Not what I meant. We work closely with them & assuming the landowner agrees, the location will be shared with the British Museum. We directly record about 500 Roman coins a year & work closely with the BM experts. Not all owners want us to share with the archies, & in these cases those that don't want to share we encourage but abide by their wishes.
The Govt & museum have no legal right over this find & we have no obligation to record it, but we like to. Also as it's 'cash' value is irrelavent to me, it may one day end up free of charge in a Museum. But I'm not dead yet.

And the legend of Crusader continues. I really enjoy seeing these rare finds and learning the history behind them.
 

I am so thankful for all of the members from Europe , Scandinavia , Russia , the United Kingdom , etc . Those of us here in the United States
are massively enriched by the History that is associated with these Ancient and Medieval finds - That's not to say that our young country
doesn't also contribute with rare and very significant finds - just expressing my gratitude !
 

Forget the banner, this discovery of yours is historically significant. A very rare coin, found in a very unlikely place, from a very turbulent time. Better than finding a box of gold nuggets in my opinion. :icon_king:

Thank you for the explanation!
 

YOU ARE UNFREAKING REAL!! I'm a member of the National Junior Classical League. (bunch of Latin and Roman history nerds) I LOVE your coins! The Septimius Severus coin is amazing let alone the Galba!! You are so cool. I'm soooo jealous. It's a dream of mine to go to Europe and find a Roman coin.
 

Congratulations on the recovery of such a rare and beautiful coin. Who needs gold, when you can dig silver like that?
 

I see where you only "average" 3 Banner finds a year. Congrats on another! Hogge

As a 'Junior' I guess your pretty joung so you will have plenty of time to research where you go & to save the money. One of my dreams was to catch a 100lb + Catfish. I did my homework & went to Spain, got the right guide, & my first fish was 112lbs & the 3 of us had 4 over 100lbs in 1 week. Not returned yet but dream achieved.:thumbsup:
PS. Make sure you don't break any Laws because if coming to the UK, you need an Export Licience.

We had these talks before; we have a different focus. Its your right to sell your stuff & my right to collect. As someone who collects, I buy off people like you, so I'm not against it.
 

Congrats on some great finds,makes you happy when the "eggheads" compliment you on your stuff,eh?....

Not sure it makes me that more happy, most the time they tell us what we know. What makes me happy is knowing we had a really rare one when I found it & hardly being able to wait to get home to find out exactly how rare.
Compliments are nice but not important, what is important is Cru'Dad & I hold some of the best records & when we are allow to share them we do. Like I said in the arrowhead thread, both parties benefit from the knowledge shared.

Only ever use the Deus with the 11" Coil nowadays, the GMP is now a reserve.
