roman

Well. I spent last weekend studying metal detectors, since I decided to give it a try as a hobby and because I bought this old house on a large plot in Germany. The result of all the studying was to buy a cheap Chinese MD, the 3009ii model as it is called. It was available on Ebay brand new...

Hi my friend gave me this coin and we are trying to figure out what it is we think it's roman or Greek the front is illegible but u can see some words on the back I think it's silver any help would be appreciated

Here's a short 3 minute clip of one of my last hunts deep in the Roman Empire's bread basket. Enjoy! CjUrwlhqVWI In the video, I find a fairly rare coin minted under Constantius I - the father of Constantine the Great. The coin dates between 305 and 306 AD. Constantius was only Emperor for...

I was out for my very last hunting trip my Roman hunting buddy Marcus in a large wheat field, trying to find some additional 4th century Roman bronze coins. I had found about 40 in this one area of a wheat field three months prior, and now I wanted to see if any where left. I did not find any...

I was cleaning off the ancient clay and dirt off a coin I found, and from what I had already been able to see, the coin appeared to be from Roman emperor Constantine the Great - with two winged victories on the back holding a wreath that stated a vow to the Roman people. But as I started to...

I just finished cleaning and identifying a lovely tiny Roman from emperor Constantius II, minted in the first half of the 4th century. This is called an “AE4” which stands for Bronze coin size 4. Roman and other ancient coins are frequently loosely identified by composition and size, since we...

Here are two coins that gave me more fun cleaning and identifying than the actual digging! The two coins were found in fields many miles apart – but are related in a different way. The first one found took me about three days to clean up, and it came out quite well. The obverse was in great...

Here's a short video to show how I clean my ancient coins. YWPu_IsoL6o Here's the coin after a few hours: and the final coin:

Went out to a remote cornfield with my new 6x8" SEF coil on my V3i, and found it performed beautifuly with my new Roman Coin program. Tucked away between the many iron trash artifacts, I came across this lovely coin: Antoninus Pius. (138-161 AD). Silver denarius. Minted in Rome between...

My wife wanted to take the Rubicon off road, and get her dirty. So we headed out across some farmland and onto a forest logging road that I had never been on before. After 10 minutes we came across an old ruined barn and home - probably abandoned in the 1970's by the look of it - and certainly a...

I found this beauty in a potato field directly under some powerlines with the V3i. It's a lovely silver Roman Denarius dating to the late 2nd century. Roman Emperor Caracalla. Denarius, minted in 200 AD in Rome. Obverse: ANTONINVS AVGVSTVS, laureate draped and cuirassed bust right Reverse...
