Hi!
First of all I'd like to introduce myself.My name is Jarek and I am from Poland.I discovered this huge MD forum few years ago.I'm rookie in MD (I'm "digging" since 2004).As you can see, my English sucks :) (I hope this Its only meter of the time).When I decide to change My firs metal detector (It was Polish "Denarius") to Minelab Quattro MP my adventure beggin's. I am some kind of coin/relict shooter.I'd like to share with you some of my best finds.In Poland law it's very mess up - no one relay now its MD illegal or not :D (Metal Detectors are everywere, don't need any permission to buy one. But you cannot use it...At least most of the times.
At firs this Roman denarius (I posted this coin on Findmall yesterday).

Hello!
Romans was using "Amber Route" (100BC-300) in Poland.Amber was very valuable and rare stuff.It was big venture to organise caravans, guards and travel few years in heart of Barbaricum ;).They spend loots of silver during this journey's .

Wow - great finds. Welcome to the forum from Australia - It looks like there is yet another person I have to be jealous of. Bavaria Mike and Crusader have been amazing us with their finds and some of your are outstanding.
 

I would love to get my hands on a roman denarius.
Sweet finds!
HH,

Mad Witch - beatiful finds m8. Every 2-3yrs i fly to Poland and spend some time in Gorzów and Piła with family. I think next year im bringing my detector, great stuff :thumbsup:
 

I am a coin collector, and I congratulate you on the interesting and scarce coins that you have dug.
Are you finding the Roman coins in one general area, or just an occasional lucky dig? How deep are the denarii sinking into the ground after 1800 or so years? I hope you find a lot more. Good Luck!
 

Hello wagbert!

Most of my coins are from one huge area(few cultivation field's betwen 3 village).After plough "they" are on random deep (0"-10").Most of them are in bad shape.tomorrow i place some photos how they look like after "tractor trip" ;).
Other thing, some of my friends spend on this same fields loots of hours and didn't found nothing "Roman"...I guess this is my beginner luck.
 

Roman coins from cultivation fields looks usually like those:

Trust me, after you've been reading these posts for awhile, you will soon realize that your English is more than adequate. Great looking coin!

Excellent digs, Mad!

We don't find many Roman coins here in California! ;D

Thanks for posting nice pictures. They are great.

Best,
