Little roman day on the Thames...

[roastedtoe]

Hey lads

My wife and daughter have gone off to spend a few days with her folks in Wales...so finding myself at leisure today I did what any self-respecting man owning a md would do and went detecting. Hit the patch of the Thames where I found my very first roman...and low and behold...found my 6th roman! Woo!

Just a little one. Tiny coin. Bronze. Commenmorative issue I think, under Constantine, to celebrate the 1100 anniversary of Rome's founding. Romulus and Remus on reverse, Roma all kitted out for a fight on obverse. Made me very happy to find it! Not especially rare I know...but a roman's a roman!

Also found a pewter head of a bulldog (go figure, ), a few Viccy farthings and an old silver, but it's so so worn I can't ID it.

Nice little run out. Out again tomorrow too...





Cheers!!!

p.s. photo of r&r don't look so bloody fuzzy before posting...off to the pub now no time to retake......sorry.

That's a nice little Roman, I wouldn't mind one of those right now!

[Iron Mask]

Yep. I'd be happy to find that Roman. Well found and thanks for sharing.

Thanks lads! It's been a few months between romans...I was starting to get anxious about it...I admit I did a little jig when I scraped back the silt and saw a wolf with two babes underneath her in front of my boot.

I know how you feel abouth the Roman stuff. With my finds it is a it like London buses, nothing for a long while and all come along at once.

Usually,the bronzes with the "she-wolf" on reverse are better grades of bronze.Well done.

That was the first ever Roman coin i found, still remember it to this day some 20+ years later. As you say, in better condition than the grots you usually find.

Lovely little coin to find!
