Tje smallest coins in the world 300 BC. Incredible!

[vince76]

Hello guys.
Yesterday i visited a site where i found during August a lot of ancient stuff. The days before rained continuasly.
I thought i had found everything but coins keep coming.
But the strangest thing were these tiny coins. With the AtPro i had a low tone mixed with some high tone. I'm sure i have walked over a lot of them.
According to the other coins these are also 2300 years old that means these are from Philip or Alexander the great times.
The most impressive fact is that i can still read something on one or two of them.
They have a diammeter of three or four mm.
This makes garret not the best but a great machine.
Thank you for reading.

Awesome! Amazing that they are in the shape they are in being so old! What is the metal composition?

Nice digs Vince, those coins are the size of lead bail seals from here in the US. You are certainly pulling some ol treasure with the ATP.

Well done Vince! Those must be hard to find.

Good luck!

Thanks guys.
I can't say it was hard cause i didn't expect to find them. I found the first one on the surface and so i payed more attention and found the others.

For what it's worth.......Most numismatic experts agree that the quarter silver' tara' of Vijayanagar is the world's smallest coin --at .06 grams and 0.44 mm.

Hi Don.
I read the article and my impression is that they are saying 4.4 mm not 0.44!
And there are no photos!
So mine can be for sure the smallest with a photo

We have had a late 4th C Roman Coin at 5mm, so those things most be tiny.

PS. To the OP, in the photo yours look bigger than 3-4mm, more like 6mm?

These sound great on the Deus with my settings, but they can be very scratchy on the Cortes. No idea what the ATP is like, but what I do know, is that you should pump up the Ses, lower the Disc to nothing & dig everything on that site. (Whatever it sounds like or whatever the numbers say)

Cool finds for sure

You are right Cru but a lot of nails used for the animals came out and i got tired. The problem is that when i get there i get exited. I have to keep calm.
For sure i will do it, i will dig every signal.
Thanks man for your ecouragement.
