Surprisingly enough, I can identify it from that. Looks to be a prutah of the Jewish king Alexander Jannaeus, c. 103-76 BC. Also known as the...
On this day, in 753 BC, Rome was founded. Post your favorite Roman coin from your collection!
Much more exciting than roll searching, in my opinion. Don't let a small haul like that discourage you, keep on detecting!
Ah-ha! That was it. Thanks. I seemed to recall hearing about this before.
The reverse makes me a little nervous. I seem to be seeing the telltale pockmarks of casting, rather than the flow lines of a strike. Can you try...

Billon or billion, its not a tetradrachm of the Imperial period. No Roman emperor has a portrait like that.
Whoa! You made me jump out of the chair when I saw the pic! CONGRATULATIONS!
I disagree. The coin was in need of at least a partial cleaning from the start. Of course, the gold cloth was FAR from the best choice. But the...
Ha! We had a wild turkey in our yard the other day too. Which is a bit more surprising considering that we're in suburban New Jersey!
Ah, my successor! Congratulations! Trust me, this will open up doors to you that you didn't even know EXISTED! My advice - when you're working in...
