A sunny couple of hours on this prolific field produced my most coveted find to date. a Celtic Silver Unit of Cunobelin circa 10 to 43AD. Thanks to Cru and Cru'dad for the specific I.D.
a few hours earlier, hit a good signal (lead again ? !) This time a Roman toga'd arm reached out from the soil asking to be rescued after 1,600 years (minimum). The rest of the statuette must unfortunately remain a mystery, for now anyway!
A few decent bronze coins and a good flint scraper completed an exciting weekend.
After just four years hunting, this Celtic Silver will be hard to beat!
Cunobelin. Circa 10-41 AD. AR Unit (1.26 gm). Sphinx Type. Draped bust right, CVNO in front / Winged sphinx seated left on exergual line, TASCIO in front. Hobbs 1874-78; Van Arsdell 2057; SCBC 313.
