[mihmar79]

on my 4th hunt i find some old coin , think its old silver turkey coin is it or ?

find in pannonia

UPDATE: 07.02.2014.
just arived scale from ebay: so i have numbers for my hoard of silver coins i found on "medieval silver forest path"

"medieval silver forest path"



hoard


weight of hoard (16,38g)


UPDATE 19.2.2014
Road keep giving silvers (1 more/25 total )
Today plan was to chek another path in same forest, but to get on that path i needed to go over my dear silver road, and i say to myself if there is 24 silvers, there must be atleast one more and there was 1 more ! ... after some time hunting nothing shows up so i moved on secund path as the plan was.

On secund path i found 1938 prety nice coin, i see that one first time so for moment i thought its gold one, unfortunatly its not but still nice one, atleast for me . thanks for watch and read! (photo on page 6)
yeah btw, i manage to get some ID on some of those silvers: 7 are sultan Suleyman I “the Magnificent” (reign 30 Sep, 1520 – 7 Sep, 1566) mint in (Novaberde, Kayseriye, Novar, Sidrekapsi, Kratova) 1 is Sultan Selim I "the Grim" (reign 1512–1520)

Hi Mihmar, did you go back? Just curious if more show up!

hi Westfront,
good question Becose after long time, yesterday i was in that forest, at first, on other location. After 1,5 -2 hour that i didnt find almost anything except old bullets, shrapnels and tons of musquitos that finds me ,decide to move to my dear silver path. After few hundreds meters i come to path, but, path is now full of grass and other forest plants (was lazy to take a picture) :O so its hard to find even small part of clear space on ground to put detector on. so i call it a day before musquitos eat me alive

Mihmar, what a once in a lifetime find, great job!! I'm sure i can speak for alot of other participants in this thread and say WE ARE JEALOUS! ! Any of us would be so excited to find just 1 of those coins.

Have you had any of the coins looked at to see what they are worth?

Agreed, looks medieval but no idea of function.

I was thinking more like a Roman Bow Brooch.

Close. I don't know if you have this term in UK, we call this kind of brooch Knee Fibula. Try a goggle picture search with " Kniefibel ". My first thought was medieval too, but when you said Bow Brooch i knew where to look.

Kniefibel

Kniefibel

Lot's of terms for them Mate, knee, bow, fan, crossbow they are all fibulas.

[Westfront]

Lol! I special meant Knee fibula. I never read about that brooch when you guys are talking.

I guess so, I just thought the bow was too angled, but I have no knowledge of European variants. Looking again, it does seem to have the residue of an iron sprung pin.

Thats why i asked of the knee fibula. These variant of a bow brooch goes straight up with a sharp bend like a knee down. We don't find them often here, looks like they are more common down south.
