Hi friends
I did some cleaning today (still have some dirty spots) ..... one very small bronze coin only 14 mm diameter.
It is Constantius II ........ IV-th century,with very nice details.
The other coin were issued by Constantine the Great between 330 to 334 AD
rev.VRBS ROMA (City of Rome) with She Wolf and Romulus ans Remus.

Marcus, i know you have heard it before, but we over here wish that those types of coins were spread out here. It really must be a thrill to recover the ancients.

Thank you guys

Well,cleaning is hard part of this beautiful hobby.I clean my coins under 8 x magnifying glass with sharp dentist tools.In short words - i scratch dirt.It is important not to damage green patina which is proof that coin was in the ground for long long time.

VDI for coins like this is 18 - 24

Thanks on the Vdi numbers. Can you keep and/or sell those, or are they state property being so old? If yes, what are they worth? martin
