Sugar Beet Field - Day 2...

[CRUSADER]

Much nicer day, weather wise, but limited it to just over 4 hours.

I got about 30 of the 38 Roman Bronze Coins plus 2 Roman Silver The larger one (Gordian III) is my best one this year, in terms of condition The smaller is a heavily clipped Siliqua 8)

I put the cent in picture to show the average size of the coins the XP hoovers up

Dad did get a solid Silver Ball Button

Great finish to the weekend hunt

It's amazing .... I have a question the small Roman coins appeared in a horizontal or vertical ....? and what kind of sound does the GMP when displayed vertically.
Greetings!

Glad you put that penny in the picture. I often wondered the size of some of the coins you were digging but never had a rreference. This helps alot. Nice dig for the silvers. That larger one is in terrific shape. Lookslike a few clips, but thatmight have been from getting beaten by the plow? Is the silver about the same size as the US cent?

Good hunt and great silver!The Godian is very detailed. I have to find a siliqua yet. HH Pann.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking; If 1 of those small coin is on its edge, what does it sound like?
If so, if these small ones were on edge I would not hear them. With the settings I use (no disc, high Ses) the small ones are heard well but only at 1-2" deep.

The larger one is 23mm, the top 'clip' is an imperfection of the minting process (common on hammered coins of the period), the bottom is a small piece of damage from the ploughing.

Those are some really interesting finds there guys!
Is this the silver button your Dad found Cru?
How old do you think it is?
And what can you tell me about this other piece?

Thanks,
Dave

Yes its the silver button - probably 18th C.

At first I thought it was a Roman bronze childs ring, now I'm unsure. Looks ancient, but might have gone around a number of things

Thanks Cru,

I think if it is a ring, it's very interesting.

I know, you know how hard that is The Siliqua is the first silver we have had of Constantius II Funny thing is, it was on the first run of the day & the larger on the last run of the day

Unbelievable Cru, whats some wonderful areas to be able to hunt! Great looking finds!

Its on a farm which we nearly gave up on (over 3000 acres), no signs on the aerials & just a gut feeling that lead me to it About 4 years ago it was virgin, now we are pretty close to clearing it, until the next deep plough. Many hundreds of acres with very little.
