🥇 BANNER *****update. Confirmed first of this design ever found… 2,000 years old (approx) My first ever GOLD COIN and how beautiful it really is 🤩… ! xx ****

[blossom]

So after a busy couple of weekends today we at last went detecting!!

Spent the morning in the “quiet” field and found a hammered and another silver coin(?) so was super happy with that. After lunch i decided to go to his field where he has found countless Romans, just to annoy him! Found a few bits so decided to head back to the truck as it started raining.. and the wind was hitting 40mph 😬…. when bang a super crisp 72 sounded in my ears.. dug nd saw the gleam of gold.. automatically assumed button.. but oh my days.. there sat a gorgeous little GOLD STATER needless to say Himself was furious that I had found it in his field… but I did get a hug and grudgingly he said “well done” 😂😂😂 ….! I havent found the same one online yet..… but wanted to show you all!!



We also found a gorgeous fibula, a dress hook, half a spur, a patterned piece, this weird lumpy bit, second pic to show you the top, little bits, chunky lead weight, tiny buckle and bit, spoon handle and modern bit, small shot, clog strap and strange lead bit, a silver tab (did the tin foil test) buttons galore, a hammered, and finally a silver disk 🤔(again passed the tin foil test) xx

What a truely awesome day we have had.. and so pleased to be able to add a gold to my already unbelievable stats this year 😎 xx

Look around for a contact for the above, if you take to the FLO your be waiting awhile. I knew it was something special, just get it from one of the best experts I've met on Celtic Coins.
Then update us?

After a very stressful day… here is what ive found out so far..😅

Ive had an initial confirmation thats it is a unique coin, (ie first one of this design ever recorded) its from the Seine Valley area in Northern Gaul Region…

It likely dates from the 2nd century BC (but i never know what that means) but before the Romans invaded us approx 2,000 years ago…

“Great coin, the bust is derived from a generic Parisian type but difficult to say which one exactly, but the overall style isn't Parisian, more like a fairly local copy. The thin and heavily stylised beard, not much more than a couple of curls, is closer to the earliest Aulerci Eburovices gold than it is to, say, Bearded Head halves and quarters, so l'd go for an origin somewhere west or north-west of Paris. As for the reverse it's quite distant from any Parisian or Somme Valley type”

Better Picture showing face.. facing right… 😍

What an incredible find, one of the best I’ve seen on here I think. A unique, beautiful and historic gold coin. Congratulation!

 

[scruggs]

Congratulations Blossom on finding the "first one of this design ever recorded!"

 

[sibbley]

Outstanding blossom! I can't imagine the feeling of holding a 2000-year-old coin. I'm absolutely thrilled for you, and a little jealous.

 

[The Rebel]

WTG on a find of a lifetime blossom! These are the finds we all dream of.

Poor himself, must have skulked off to the local pub to ease his pain

How come he doesn't post here?

 

[ModernMiner]

One of the best, and oldest, finds I’ve ever seen on Tnet Blossom. You deserve it. I’m celebrating for you too. 🍺👍
I am just amazed by the age are rarity!!!
Himself better be very nice to you now. ❤️ Lol
Waiting to see your coin up on BANNER.

[tamrock]

Congratulations Blossom. I'd say that takes you to a higher level of metal detecting expertise. Not all just luck going on with you. Definitely a Banner find.

 

[Aureus]

That's a stellar banner find! Big congratulations!

What an update...not only Celtic gold but 1st ever recorded of its kind Celtic gold! Gobsmacked!

I will 2nd this one for sure.
Getting a new variety of a Celtic Gold is awesome.
I wonder when the trigger will be pulled on this one of a kind gold?

 

[Tpmetal]

So since it is a previously unrecorded coin, does the government there get to take it?

2nd C BC would mean circa 200BC. I think that would be the oldest date in the bracket, but at least 100 years older than any imports I have had, very cool. Without getting a Greek coin its hard to find any coin much older. I've had Roman Silver at 112BC & thats pretty crazy! An important historic find & its provenance/recording of its findspot is important.
Banner no-brainer
