Hi all,
I am spending the Summer back in France. Went out 3 times so far. The first time, I just couldn't dig at all. The ground was as hard as rock. No matter what I would do or use, I would only take chips out at best.
Then, we drove to my wife's cousin. Went out again, and found a couple of coins (early 20th century) and a nice buckle, probably 14th/15th century.
We finally drove to my mother-in-law's place in the South. Went out for 1h 1/2 yesterday evening. And there it was...
A Celtic silver obol from the Tolosates (or Volques Tectosages) tribe ! It dates back to the end of the 2nd century BC. Last year, I had found a similar coin, from the very same tribe. Same design but twice thicker. It was a silver drachma (My avatar here). Now I have both the drachma and the obol ! YES !
Happy hunting to all !
