Spring Sunshine And Finds

[robfinds]

It was a perfect spring afternoon today. Lovely warm sunshine and blue sky's. Watched my son fishing for a couple of hours, then hit a field on the way back home. Managed a few finds, in a session that was dominated by plain buttons. A copper of William III, a nice leather mount, a 17th century buckle, and an above average condition Roman bronze coin. All in all a pleasant afternoon. Robert.

Nice Roman.
I'm in the US in the state of Florida. Wish we had the history that your location has.
Must be nice to find coins from over a thousand years ago. My oldest dates from the 1870's.

Whats more common over there? 17th century or earlier silver or early complete buckles

I like your side of the pond metal detecting.

Good question, I would have to say, that overall complete buckles are rarer. Broken buckles though are common. Of course buckles in silver or gold, of any age are rare. Also Roman, Saxon and Viking buckles are rarer. Robert.
