Hi Guys, been a while since I detected but last month I dusted off the trusty Nox 800 and hit the field.

Been twice so far, only a couple of hours each hunt but I really enjoyed being back in the field.

Had some good luck too, first hunt yielded a commonwealth penny(I think it's a penny) and yesterday a lovely silver Roman that looks like it was dropped yesterday ๐Ÿ˜.

If you recognise the Roman then please post.


Thanks.

M ANTONINVS AVG TR P XXVIII = Marcus Aurelius Denarius

A Commonwealth Penny is pretty scarce compared to the Half Groat.
 

Close but your Obverse inscription, ends VIII (not VII)
Reverse: Victory walking Right holding Wreath & Trophy.
Ref: RIC287
Which makes it AD173-74

Hey Crusader, good to see you are still around. Yeah I have the half groat commonwealth too,.never seen the penny one before so assumed they didn't come up too often.
Thanks for the Roman ID ๐Ÿ‘

Pretty sure we have only had 2 Pennies ever. Quite a few half groats.

Yeap, still on a Crusade to Grid-on. Just got permission to carry on a pea crop until they are big enough to break, so we have a while left to do this new amazing field. (14 hammered in 9 hrs 15mins)

If you need a hand on that field, then let me know. ๐Ÿ™
