Nice finds. Can't wait to see them.

Will definitely bring them to the club. :)

I went out again yesterday as a friend and my big brother came to visit us in the South. It was my brother's first time metal detecting... ever !

I lent him my E-Trac and kept my Deus (boy, I love that machine now !!). I told him a few basics about the machine, how to pinpoint, how to cover your hole etc. I walked back to him 15 minutes later. He told me : "I just found that old coin. That was pretty cool" He then handed me the coin... Another Roman antoninianus from Emperor Gallienus ! When I told him, I saw his face change... He was so excited !! I found another antoninianus 10 minutes later.

Here is the result :

HH to all !
