One of my Best hunts, 7 Romans and Ceasar Constantinus II...

[Bavaria Mike]

I have been working and living part time near the French border for the past year with my job. Had more than enough time to detect the area, even have a permit from Trier however, I did not find anything old like Roman or Celtic through the year I had to detect. I moved back to Bavaria last week, just a few days before I moved, my neighbors father asked if would like to explore some areas, WWII bunkers, Roman ruins and a few other historical sites he knew of just minutes away from my apartment. Of course I wanted to but had limited time, he took me out one evening two weeks ago and showed me several interesting sites. I lent him my Ace 250 and we detected a little but mostly explored some sites. I am back in the area to send out our simulators this week and today was my last hunt here and my BEST hunt ever in the area. This is a bridge my friend showed me, no road to the left or right of it and it was never used. This was to be the B41 road, they went through clearing forests, flattening and removing obstacles and building bridges, the German Government ran out of money, I believe this was in the late 1960s, and decided it was not needed later so it was never finished.

My friend showed me this field and said there was a small Roman village here, then showed me a well just to the right of the deer hunter

You sure hit a hot spot there, do you think you will ever go back? That well would be fun to dredge...who knows what was thrown down or lost in there. As always, nice pics and story. The winter is finally loosing grip around here. Some fields have open spots but the ground is still kind of wet. No frost to speak of, so that's a plus. Take care, Ron

Those are some very cool finds Mike! Congratulations on finding such old coins. I'd be one very happy detectorists too with finds like that.

Roman coins in Schweinfurt, near Geldersheim and that is probably where we will detect. The Romans were not in Schweinfurt, I figure the coins arrived there through business trade with the Celtic. I will be staying in Werneck next week. Send me an email with you Handy/Cell phone number. HH, Mike
