Anybody digg ancient coins?

[Marcus Aurelius]

I don`t hunt this days,but here is what i dug last year for couple hours.
One more thing.I want my star back  i was Praetorian and now i am just a Legionary.That is not fair 

[Marcus Aurelius]

Hello
I dugg this in my back yard very recently.Roman key ring.

[AncientCoins]

Nice.  I love rings, key rings and fibulae

I found 18 coins in last few days.Among them is denar Alexandar Severus,and as Faustina.Very worn coins,Faustina have black patina,probably was adust long time ago.I found one Roman arrow point,and i keep that for my friend Basemetal together with some Roman iron knifes and spear points.Only problem is how to deliver this items to him.

[AncientCoins]

Amazing coins!  Wow, you have found iron knives, spear points, and arrowheads?  I'm guessing that means that you have dug in/around what must have once been a military camp?  I would love to see the arrowheads, knives, and spearpoints if you have a picture.   Military artifacts are one of the things I love most about collecting artifacts (even though I don't really have any, I love looking at them and researching!).

I'm sending ancientcoins an arrowhead that may be late roman or midevial.  He might enjoy any such examples of similar  things you all might have.  After all, after we all are gone, who will teach the young about Constantine and James Brown?

[Marcus Aurelius]

I found once Roman fish hook.It was very big hook with green patina.I guess they have plenty fish in that time.Imagine rivers with no factorys on the river banks.
I have also little Roman stone from one fishing net.Here is the pic.

[NervousRex]

and i find your posts interesting.keep posting your finds and your fish.

[Marcus Aurelius]

hi.nice fish.looks like a Pike.by the way.i will be on holiday in Serbia soon.i got to see if i can bring my detector this time.i am staying with family near Pozarevac.all the best,Robert.

Hi NervousRex
Near Pozarevac is Viminacium,beautiful Roman town with famous mint.But i sugest not to bring your metal detector with you becouse it is ilegal to hunt coins here and custom officer will took it from you on custom department .Or you can try to hide it.Choice is your.

[AncientCoins]

Everybody finds your posts interesting!  That is a nice Vespasian.

A very nice find indeed!

The rarer 'PON MAX' Vesta reverse in very good shape. If that was in a coin store I would not hesitate to purchase it.

What good luck you have at hunting them.

[Marcus Aurelius]

I cant believe it!Another Vepasian denar in just few days.I found only 2 coins today for 2 hours searching.Here is the pic.And i ask Vespasian70 to tell me more about this denar.

av.IMPCAESARVESPASIANUSAVG
rev.TRPOT X COS VIIII

cos VIIII? is that unusual?

Thank You

[AncientCoins]

Wonderful denarius!  I don't focus on or know much about the Flavian Era, but I think that it looks more like Titus, Vespasian's son, then Vespasian himself?  I will have a look around and reply if I find anything.

Andrew

P.S.  Nice Trajan big bronze  as well!

[basemetal]

Way to go Marcus!
I thought you'd likely find some large Trajans eventually.  Your homeland was once a staging area for his forays farther east.

[David Atherton]

Another wonderful denarius!

Your coin reverse is Ceres, seated left, holding torch, corn-ear and poppy.

Your coin is unlisted in the BMCRE and RSC. They have the same reverse, but with the obverse portrait right (BMCRE 244, RSC 550).

A hard to find reverse with the portrait right, but you have an unlisted variant with the portrait left. A very rare coin.

In two days you have managed to find two Vespasian denarii that I very much would want in my collection!

Where is this magic field of yours? 

[Marcus Aurelius]

Not bad for couple hours.About 20 coins,one fibula without needle,and two aplique.But my White`s
turn off about 10 times.I hope it was bad contact with batteries.

[Marcus Aurelius]

I clean that Vespasianus denar today and there is result.

[jbaran]

Every time I read this thread I end up staring off into space, dreaming of being able to roam around and come home with gems like these.  Beautiful finds.

[AncientCoins]

Yeah, truly.  I wish I could detect in my backyard and dig up Roman goodies

Andrew

[DruMAX]

I clean that Vespasianus denar today and there is result.

wow...what a great looking coin.

[basemetal]

Marcus:
Now THAT is a Vespasian denarius!  Outstanding!  I hope you detected all around it?   

[Marcus Aurelius]

I guess it is manufacturer secret Basemetel.Thank you for trying to help me.You are to kind as usual.
Here is today find.Viminacium coin 27 mm,but who is the ruler?I can see TR letters.Is it Traian Decius-guy from my neighbourhood who was murder in battle and they never find his body.After that no one will take that name again.brrrrrrr scarry

[AncientCoins]

Ugh, I should know this, these Colonia Viminacium issues are so popular...  I think the types were minted for more than one emperor, maybe like Philip, Gordian III, and maybe others...
