[QUOTE="bcuda, post: 3689904, member: 105389"]I found quite a few Muslim Umayyad coins when I was in Spain the 5 years I was there metal detecting. I sometimes would go to the Sevillia coiin market on Sunday instead of metal detecting. There would be the normal Coin collectors with tables selling modern to ancient coins. And then there would be the metal detector guys walking around with new finds in their pockets ready to sell, they were kinda of picky to who they would show their finds to. One guy they called El Andalus would buy the Muslim coins and I sold some of mine to Him. Here are a few of the ones I dug up. I know nothing at all about them I cant even tell if they are upside down or not. Obverse the one to the right is a fouree or fake from time frame I believe.
