Roman Coins & Silver Denarius of Geta found Metal Detecting UK

where's that there oh it's a coin oh is that a silver just got this i think this might be a hammered all right guys i'm back out again i've got a new field that i can go on today i say it's new i've been on there before but that was last summer did have a few romans off there um nothing amazing but it's always worth another go it's in grass now um so i've got to make my way across this plowed field to get to it so what i'm going to do is detect across this one make my way up there and uh yeah see how i get on it if i don't like it i'll come back on the plow anyway i'm gonna crack on just got this out of a buckle it's quite decorative a bit of a little rubbish signal to be fair one massively deep i don't know four inches as there's a bit of iron in there masking it maybe but yeah that's a shame that's not complete because that would have been absolutely stunning ah there we go [Laughter] have that one out he's out well what is it hold up there we go the roman coin do you have any detail on there don't think so minimal give that one a uh clean when i get home not bad i'll try and do a few more live digs today uh as i go but yeah there we go not bad roman it's got this really shallow signal it's brushed off that loose and uh yeah there's a roman coin tiny little roaming i'm bad i've only been going about 15 minutes maybe it's two romans lovely job this one here i'm not sure what to make of that but just find out i'm going over ground that i've been over you know a couple of times so this is just a little bit missing all right it's just just a bit of lead yeah here we go a little bit of lead but he's even something else another roman and despite it not being the hole there is um some pretty good detail on there so we can get the emperor there we go that was deep i'd say probably about eight inches so reasonably quiet signal uh didn't expect to be a roman but again you know it's always worth investigating this one paid off right brilliant [Laughter] see what we got [Laughter] right not sure what to make of that oh there it is i don't know what that is i think that might be the center of something little it's like a little uh dimple on each side it's very thin hence why the probably the rubbish signal is getting from it um just uh got this coin i think it's a farthing half penny cs2 it's quite old by the look of it i'd say probably george and probably a georgian farthing which is slightly bigger than the later farthings but i might be wrong just to be honest i can't really see any detail on here well there we go it's a mystery coin it may give up some detail later um i'm not far away from approaching that uh grass field but there's um they're doing some work on it at the moment i don't know whether they're cutting it uh i'm gonna just give the farmer a call and see if it's still okay to go on there if not i'll just stay on this plowed field every now and then a field gives up a strange find but this one's on the surface and i i reckon that's a um piston from an engine it is there we go specially wonder how it ends up out here yeah there we go piston from an engine this little thing was on the surface i think it's some kind of strap end it's very thin and looks extremely fragile looks like it's barely held together [Music] could be part of a strap end not sure i've just gone into the grass field now i've just got this one and i'm not really sure what it is perfectly flat outside it doesn't look like it's part of a button so there's a little bit of pattern to it there i can't really tell too much yeah strange one i just found this uh not exactly sure it is it's guilted what's left of it it's got a little love on the back there they're not really sure on that one looks interesting grooves in it yeah now i'm going to um make my way off this grass field because the bits where i want to get to the grass is just too long so i might as well make the most of that other field while it's still plowed right just got back on the plowed field only a few yards in and just hit a lead token always a pleasure today nothing on that side oh yeah lovely job well i just found this i reckon it might be a broken up ring it's not really any pattern to it not even sure what it's made of to be honest yeah could be a ring don't i i've just had a quick wipe of it and pretty sure it's silver so i'll have a better look at it when i get home see if there's any hallmarks on it yeah it's a silver thing probably a silver ring okay something here could be a coin be a button what we got that's a button oh well just a part that doesn't sound too bad right oh that's my shovel it's too close where's that there oh it's a coin oh is that silver uh i think i might have a silver room in here please right oh it's looking like it so i'm just gonna try and give that a quick clean water bottle and rag with me please please all right well i'm not really sure what to make of it it looks silver um i don't know whether it's a forgery or not it's got a lot of crud on it but this side is really a thick sort of green crud on there so i don't really know until i uh get over and have a good pick at some of this crud and see if some of it will come off hoping that that is a proper silver denarius rather than one of these fake ones good uh good image of the emperor on there i mean you know even if it's fake you know that is what it is it's uh it's still a good find well happy with that one yes nice one okay so just had that romance over there i've got a signal pretty much right next to it i think i've got a bronze ring nice pattern to it [Music] yeah it looks like a uh it's just broken in there wow look at that look at that detail that's amazing it's fantastic i have a real good hunt around this uh arrowroom and now anyway they were probably two foot apart well yeah i mean is it a ring i don't even know if it definitely is a ring but it's yeah certainly looks like it brilliant this looks like a piece of an old buckle an old bronze buckle just pulled up a uh a little clip or a buckle type thing to find out exactly what it's called yeah quite small i'm particularly deep at um yeah it's about three inches down it's got another roman this one here i uh was partially masked by iron all right luckily i managed to just lock onto it and get that signal yeah some detail there let's just have a listen there's his eye in here so yeah that bit of iron was masking this little roman see that ain't bad at all there's any bronze but yes nice like that good sounds like a nice target there oh that sounds so great now though let's take a bit more there it is i can see it whatever it is it's round i think it's just a button yeah just a button nice sounding target there [Laughter] a little bit either you got yep round is it a coin i think let's check the other so get that on a quick wipe over well it is a coin it's a roman coin really much detail on there there we go still a roman coin just uh pulled up another large piece of bronze quite sure i don't know it's hard to tell it could have been a pop foot maybe that was where it broke off huh i've better look when all the mud's cleaned of it just pulled up a button it's quite an interesting pattern it's got the star of david on it might be some right in or a maker's mark underneath the quad on the back there yeah looks pretty cool [Laughter] sounds good [Laughter] not sure yeah it's just one of these frightful things another roman er we've got any detail on that yeah a little bit what a great deal i think most of the coins for about half of it's been lost yeah there we go another roman another roman some detail there see some lettering and they're on that side that's good yeah definitely uh giving me some uh some good stuff today it's a nice of a sounding one there [Music] but piece of bronze sounds like we've got a nice and bright target there shallow as well that double bleep what do we got just a button little quiet one there i'm going back over ground that i've already done um so just sort of seeing what i've missed picking out any little targets as well that's much brighter we got gold roman would be lovely now just have to settle for a a thing a hinge should be brilliant i don't mind a hinge yeah i'd love a gold roman apart yeah there's some real some lovely stuff out there that people find i mean and people in the club have had i've got i mean they've had hex heads stators you had a roman gold all three of those on my bucket list i've never never found a gold stator never found a gold roman never found her call um a bronze axe head um even a even a gold armor would be lovely anything gold yeah that'd be brilliant just talk about what i think is uh part of a brooch i think that is a little bit broken off at the end there might be wrong just going through uh an area which i hit a couple of weeks ago did pull up you know freezable our romans out here just going through again seeing what i've missed maybe listening out for some of those quieter targets as well so hopefully i missed something really good doesn't sound too bad i think it's very deep out there what is it i didn't see it oh there it is it's round looks like a roman it is yeah i can't see any detail but there is a lot of crud there so some of that might come off i reckon that might be bad i'll have a quick look i've given it a uh gentle clean um yeah there's some detail come out straight away just see some thick crud stuck to the coin as well so some of that might come off and then uh yeah the emperor on that side uh yeah there's definitely should be some improvement and this coin when i can you know get home and clean it properly yeah it's another good one it's brilliant so that's what i've missed around here hopefully i missed something uh nice silver denarii or yeah maybe even better just got another one yeah well i'll say another one i don't know exactly what it is i can't tell if that's a roman or not uh i mean it's a button it's been bent it could be a roman not really any detail on it i don't know have a better look at that one when i get home it's a bent something or other just got this i think this might be a hammered uh can't really tell at the moment it's getting the light it's very thin it's made of silver see a little bit of lettering on the edge is there a cross bit at the bottom if that is the bottom so i'm just going to give this a gentle clean okay there's a shield on the back there um typical of so what you got in the tudor era really can't make anything out on this side so yes i don't know it's just a i'm guessing a tudor hammered coin i don't know which uh which one it was most commons lizzie uh you know i thought that the other week up here i had i had that henry viii i thought that was a lizzie and when i cleaned it off and i had a better look i could see his crown and his beard uh yeah this is yeah it's going to be difficult difficult to get an idea on that still so how much pretty good hammered number eight now for the year brilliant it looks like a weight rabbit weight or a loom weight or whatever it happens to be that it was supposed to be uh weighing down there we go and another roman it's a little bit of detail on there this field's uh being very generous today we got there we go there's a figure there standing and then there's the emperor brilliant i don't believe it i got hoping that roman i got earlier the silver one um i hope it is silver it might be amazing another one i had last week is silver it's debased silver but you know i suppose that's better than a silver wash but yeah i do uh be amazing if that does because the detail on the bust side looks like it's really good the other side is terrible there's just so much crud on it so i'm hoping that's not like the inside of the coin leaked out i suppose i'll find out when i get back but yeah anyway here's another roman let's have a look then see what we got hopefully something good all right where are you look at this oh there it is we got a little burn [Laughter] sounds shallow probably be able to get that one with a probe where whatever it is oh so roman i think that's a uh i think that's a roman i think that one's gonna have some good detail on that as well just gonna uh give that one a quick clean up that might be uh that might be a pretty decent one it's thick as well it's thicker than the uh other ones i've been digging up yeah let's give that one a uh quick spray okay well it's not as uh good as i thought it was gonna be but still you know there's a roman coin with some detail on so that in itself is still good you see the uh figure on the back there and then you've got your emperor there's a little bit of the writing still there i mean some of that might actually clean out it's really caked on crud so i'm not gonna be able to take that off here if it does come off some of it does look like it would come off um you know with a uh little cocktail stick picking at it but yeah that's all right though still i'm happy with that i've just found a tiny roman coin look at that diddy no detail left on it you know when the romans dropped these they had no chance of finding them i just dug another roman and this one uh the signal was slightly masked there was a bit of iron there looks like there's some detail on this one yeah look at that shame the coins not complete but can't help that yeah look at that around the right way that's brilliant you know it's damaged on the edge but you know that can't be helped that is uh that's fabulous so just brilliant you just see that detail bring that history to life it's amazing yeah there's a so there is a bit of iron in there as well obviously luckily the coin was above the iron or he probably wouldn't have got it uh yeah brilliant another roman really good for the romans today not quite sure how many i've got in total i've been keeping a tally but just be a few probably give it another half hour or so starting to get hungry now so he feeding and another roman it's got some real stuck on crud on this one that's going to take some picking off because that's that's actually really well stuck on there yeah yeah and i want another one for me to uh have a pick out when i get home next find this uh thing it's made of bronze not sure what that is anyone's got any ideas please let me know uh just on my way back to the car now just picked up another little roman what's left of one a little bit of detail left on it probably about 60 yards from the car now so unlikely i'll pick anything else up but you never know well there was time for one more and it's a little beauty so easy to see uh the sun's just dipped down now behind the hedge row i'm about 20 yards from your car so i'm heading over there is actually a lot of detail on this coin that's great it's hard to see it for the camera i want to look at it you know just looking straight at it you can see all the detail there but anyway say uh as a cracking little coin to end the day on and a good day on as well been a really good day again i have to try and hit it a couple more times before it gets planted huh yeah i don't even know when that's gonna happen but yeah anyway 20 yards from the car will i pick another one up probably not more great finds again so buttons bits and pieces didn't have this large piece of bronze um like a sort of insert bit there i don't know what it was from to be honest i don't know very heavy maybe it was a foot uh you know from a pot i don't know a few other bits did i have a hammered not particularly great i'm pretty sure it's a tudor one but i can't make out anything on the other side you know even the ledger it's so worn uh yeah but probably lizzy um had a guess their most common one they had so where are we this which i thought was pretty cool when it came out first for that cross on there and then obviously it's just a button never mind this one that was bent it's not a roman i didn't think that might have been a roman at first but i don't think it is it's not quite the feel of a roman it looks too despite the bending it looks too perfect perfectly round so um don't think that's a button lug there i think that's just a like a lump of crud on it but yeah anyway uh this one is a broken ring it's silver we had another ring which is this one it's a nice design on it i don't know how old that is could be roman medieval maybe certainly looks to have a bit of age to it so 15 roman bronzes that's pretty good happy with that nothing like special condition wise most of them broken but you can see some detail like this one this one where's the other one this one's got a bit of detail on as well again this one so all good there happy with those my favorite find of the day um was the denarius uh it was completely covered in horn silver i thought it might have been a contemporary forgery but i don't think it was it's taken me hours and hours to uh pickle that crud off but look at this what a beauty um i'm pretty sure that is uh gator so that would have been i don't know i pronounced i think it's gator or ghetto uh that's the brother of caracalla um the son of septimia severus and julia domner the other side still needs a little bit of cleaning this was the worst side of it i mean that was there was over probably a millimeter of this thick horn silver coming off of it i've managed to get the worst of it off now so it just needs just to pick those last bits out but it's so well baked on there it's it's you can't believe how difficult it is to get off so but yeah what a cracker that's the kind of roman silver that i was hoping to find what a what a beautiful coin yeah looking forward to getting back out on that field um got a few other new permissions to try out i've just been given so might give those a go with mostly pasture but yeah anyway stay safe until the next time
