    How deep do you normally find them?
    I'm so jealous. I'd love to see what they look like all cleaned up.

    Scale is hard. Is it a Nero sestertius or as? The lips could be Viteliius but the letters look larger. How far off am I?

    l found today findings mostly on 1-2 inches..l will not clean them because there is no quality to clean..l will spend my time for nothing..but, if l see quality bronze, like dupondius, sestertius or as, then no problem..this small bronze coins from today, have no quality..

    I never find anything like that (except maybe the large spike).
