Two of the better finds from my last day out...

[Pona]

Had a full day out in Oxfordshire a few weeks back. Its been a pretty decent Roman site, that has produced a lot of bronzes of the last few years..Never had a Denarius off there...that was until my last visit when not one but two popped out <:

1. Caracalla Denarius. 198-217 AD
Reverse Mars advancing left, holding spear and trophy

2. Antoninus Pius Denarius. 138-161 AD
Reverse Hands, in handshake, grasping winged caduceus and grain ears.

Congrats on the spectacular finds! :clapping:

[Pona]

WOW! :shocked04:

And I feel proud if I find a coin that is 100 years old! These are 1800 years old! :omg:

[Pona]

Its all relative though. I have to say some the coins I've been looking at this forum I'd be more than happy to find :) I want one of the coins with the Indian on the back and a wheatie...check me out using the lingo and being down with the kids :cool: lol

[coinnut]

WOW ! thoes are neat looking coins, and old too, good finds,wtg.

[del]

:wow: those are a couple sharp looking roman coins Pona :cheering: :cheering: incredible shape for their age , i'm afraid there will be nothing left of our coins after 1800 years ;) yeah i think there would be more than a few of us willing to take a flight out that way to detect those fields with you .



Thank you Coinnut :)

don't worry , Coinnut doesn't take up much room and infact just a midsized doghouse in the backyard is more than great accomodations for him. lol lol

congrats again on the two Denarius coins.

congrats Pona, Those are the best looking Denarius I've seen posted anywhere so far. Hope you find lots more this season,good luck and HH.....

[Pona]

Thanks again for the comments...I'd love to say all Roman silvers come out the ground looking like those but its sadly not the case :( :crying02:

[Marcus]

Beautiful coins :congrats:

Wooooah! Lucky Charms? Lets not be too hasty. How about some Count Chocula instead? (oh yeah....your coins are beyond anything we can imagine in around here)

[Pona]

Count Chocula you say?? not familar with these....might have to google this and let you know :) For the record, a box of Lucky charms will cost you around £8-£9 in the UK, you dont see them too often and can only be brought from specialist food/sweet shops.

Hey Pona,
Those are simply amazing coins! I enjoyed reading this thread very much. PM me your address and I will send you some of those unique American coins you crave so much! Best wishes and HH, Dave.
