🥇 BANNER <<<HIT THE JACKPOT>>>Updated

[CRUSADER]

Well I thought I would try for some more capbadges on the Dump field & got a couple (that I need again).

A hallmarked silver ring - Birmingham - 1894

Star find - A coin which has been on my top 5 wish list for years:

Julius Caesar silver Denarius - dated 49-48BC - 100 years before the conquering of Britain.

Julius was the first to invade Britain but failed. Looking at the coin it has 100 years of wear & although minted in Rome came over in the late 1st century AD.

Out of interest, as I never sell anything, what figure would you put on it? Seems in too smoother condition to fetch much?

Re: <<<HIT THE JACKPOT>>>

I went and looked for a gold Stater, got rained out, went back after the rain to a church. Found a key and some trash in the church yard, an older Gent came by and asked what I was looking for, after some conversation he said the church yard where I was detecting was a graveyard, grass now, and he could remember the iron crosses that used to be there. Gack! I don't do grave yards unless they are plowed fields, LOL! I left, it was a short hunt. No gold stater. On the up side, the farmers here have started harvesting winter wheat, can't wait to get back on the fields. HH, Mike

Re: <<<HIT THE JACKPOT>>>

Thanks for all the nice comments.

I only said on here the other week that this year is going to be one of my best. But I wasn't expecting it until harvest time. So this was an early bonus! I notice that France/Germany have harvested & I will be watching in envy as the finds flood in.

Re: <<<HIT THE JACKPOT>>>

Jackpot indeed! What a beautiful coin! It's a great thing to be able to hold something that was made by human hands so long ago and wonder what their lives must have been like.

A few years ago, I "hopped the pond" to see Hadrian's Wall and a few of the forts..my regret is that I didn't have more than a few hours in Colchester. One of these days, I'll make it back there and make that area the priority. Find Roman occupied Britain really fascinating. Boudica is my heroine

Keep digging and posting-you are on to something good there!
