Another day out in France

[Restoring Your Finds]

Hi all,

Went back out 2 days ago. Here is the result :

An old (bronze?) key. I don't know what it was for... but I like it.


Unidentified items :



2 lead seals and a button

Old ring (Roman with some design on it but can't make it out), a 17th/18th century coin, a 17th century coin and a musket ball

4 roman coins and a possible half roman coin

A "double tournois au dauphine" - Louis XII (King from 1498 to 1515)


The ring upclose



One of the roman coins, uncles. (Some silver left on the obverse) It is an antoninianus of Gallienus (Emperor with his father Valerian from 253 to 260 and alone from 260 to 268). Antilope on the reverse.


That's all for today !

Happy Hunting to all !

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 !
