    Amazing @galba68 - those two don't need much cleaning, outstanding. Wherever you are doing your metal detecting there was a gaggle of Romans dropping their pocket change over the years.

    Great finds!
    Where the provincial coin was found? I'm curious, because I know about some provincial findings in Spain and Portugal, in 4 and 5th century little hoards, maybe used as tokens.

    Amazing finds! I’m very curious how long it takes you to find a coin. In other words, is that a days work?

    That's amazing. Even your not-so-amazing days are amazing to me.

  11. I wonder how it must have felt to get back home or to the market and find out you're missing $100 or a day's wages in the form of a 3.5 gram silver coin. awesome how many of these you're able to find. you're living the dream.

    Amazing finds, galba68!

    I wish I could go looking again...
    I used to really enjoy it never knowing what was going to come up next. In the worst of cases one has a nice days exercise. In the best of cases, one can have a day like this, one of my best finds:

    Geta without question. His name follows Septimius in Greek at the right end of the legend.

    Mine is a different reverse but can be used to clarify letters.
