Doesn't this condition just break your heart? So much for the do-gooders who want us to stop the hobby! I say lets get the coins out before plowing can do this to them!
Very very SAD

That is what the anti hobby lobby cant get into their heads.If we don't get it out of the ground it will all be destroyed. I know some arkies prefer that to happen rather than we find it. SMALL MINDS !!

A stunning intact Roman seal ring! A Perfect hammered coin, researching could be John - Richard will update. Several Roman coins one Perfect Fibula great patina lovely Roman silver coin sadly cut in half and the flat piece of lead with the small circles on it is a anvil for cutting minems out of coins (See cut coin in picture above prev post) ! And the big strong box side needs no explanation! So the Roman coins was a hoard after all! Still looking for the rest of the box if we find it then it might be if we don't Oh well!

By the way lads this is the site for identification of your coins, you can download this here
Quote" 1) Over the years I have put together loads of
so-called RIC lists of common Roman bronzes (later ones
say, Gallienus and later) all in Excel format and with
drop-down columns to pinpoint the details of the coin
in hand, which shortens the list bit by bit until you
are left with your coin. There are many many such lists
on my website, all for free download, here:

Hope this helps with the identification! So you don't have egg on yer face like me! LOL

Sigh T2 Loves Ya ............ Kiss kiss smack LOL (Who are them fellahs with the white jackets chasing me?
Anyway Gents here is a very very Rare Roman coin Identified by Mrs Dane Kurth of Wildwinds.
Quote"Constantine II
Obv: CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C (meaning Constantine Junior
Noble Caesar), laureate, draped and cuirassed bust
left, holding Victory and spear (the spear would cut
right through the hole at 45 deg) but you can see his
hand holding the bottom part.
Rev: BEATA TRAN-QVILLITAS, large globe (often with
lines of latitude and longitude!) on altar inscribed
VOT - IS - XX in three lines, three stars above.
Mintmark star STR
Minted in: Trier, 321 AD.
Reference: Not in RIC. Bikic-Do Hoard, Sirmium VIII, 47
(found in Bikic-Do in E. Europe as part of the hoard)
Rated R5 = of the highest rarity, only one known until now.
A similar one but without the star in the mintmark and
only holding a Victory and a mappa (like a rolled up
napkin) is here:

OK, so this was made in 321 AD and the teeny weeny
tiddlers were more or less started by Theodosius II
(408-450 AD) and continued with, e.g. Valentinian III,
(425-455 AD), Leo I (457-474 AD), so this was around
100 years after the original coin was made, which is an
awful long time for a coin to continue to be in
circulation (especially as the Romans were now gone
from GB). What I think is, that these little flans were
used for what we call "barbs" or barbaric coins. In
fact I just received a barbaric Fel Temp (fallen
horseman type) only today from my friend George in
England (he is an ebay seller, he buys coins from
detectorists, I ID them for him and he pays me in "Fel
Temps" (fallen horseman types, as he knows I collect
them - there are over 2,000 variations of them!)
It looks like there are the letters OB on that bit of
lead sticking up in the circle, so the cutout would
have been made with the obverse face down, by the look
of it

Silver plated Queens Own button very nice. Buttons lead bale seals, 303 casing, musket balls, and a very tiny 2mm tip of a watch winder, part of a silver buckle Georgian grenade type drawer handle and an Celtic double loop clothes fastener stunning condition. It was just to cold to stay on unfortunately the 2 Roman coins I found got mixed up in the other lot so pictures separately.
PS Buying the SEF coil for the T2 will have a dodgy opinion soon!
