Wood and grass

[robfinds]

Went back to the wood this afternoon and had a hard time, shot gun butt after shot gun butt. Found a small 17th century button before jumping on to a pasture field. Had one good find off the grass, a good condition Roman coin. It's a Constantine the Great two soldier type, minted sometime between 324-337 AD, it was minted in Treveri (mint mark TRP) Rhineland.

Hello Mr Silver, it was ploughed about 2 years ago. Signals though were few.

Still an outstanding hunt!

That coin is in incredible condition for something that has been in the ground for nearly seventeen hundred years. Is it silver?

It's copper/bronze terpan. It's not in bad condition, the soil in that area is kind to copper/bronze.

Getting a Roman from grass, I guess means it was once ploughed, I would be all over that one!!

It amazes me that you folk over the pond know what those 1500+/- yr old coins are! A coin book.....yes, it could help, but there were so many different groups inhabiting that land at different times. I admire all of you for your knowledge.

The roman coin (two soldiers) is probably one of the most common types found in England. Who knows how many were minted, certainly they were lost in large amounts.
