despite the fact that l hunting for coins almost every day, lm not coin collector..lm scared of collecting, or maybe l have fear that hobby will take me from detecting which l know..for u guys, l have respect for your patience and love for great hobby and history..l love when l find good sestertius..after cleaning, l looking for miniature engraver masterpiece for days..and l find new owner of the bronze masterpiece to enjoy company of other coins in somebody collection..for me, thats highlight of metal detecting..but recently, l start to collect roman bricks with animal footprins on it..its hard to find in one piece..this one is the first in my collection..42 cm x 38 cm, weight-9kg..
I know you live in Europe but where exactly? I didnt think those countries allowed metal detecting let alone the keeping of ancient artifacts... apparently Im wrong. This is really cool however and I am super jealous. In my part of the United States there isnt a whole lot to be found except if you want to go gold mining somewhere.
in eastern europe, law is more or less similar..u can do metal detecting, but is no-no in protected areas..u can collect artefacts, but, you will have big problem if you try to export artefacts without valid export papers..l have good relationship with national museum, they even bought coins and artefact from me (under market price, off course), because of they future study...
