Almost 2,000 Years Old! - The Oldest Coin EVER Found Metal Detecting in America!

[@StefDigs]

I love seeing Charley have such an amazing start to 2024! For those who haven't met him, he's one of the kindest, most generous people you could hope to meet. Huge congrats to him on that insanely old coin! I hope to pop back into one of the livestream chats again soon. 🙂

Good job guys. I think your ID is great. I know of at least 5 folks including me who have found 3rd century Roman coins in the US, all on the East Coast. One group was from a SC plantation that burned by 1800. The guy apparently was a coin collector and the liberty ships of WWII brought back ballast sand from Italy and North Africa, and where the sand was dispersed, Roman and other coins have been found. You guys had a great outing.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

good knowledge Wiley!

[@dogtagdoug6751]

I like your thinking but I could see that being more likely if we were closer to the Jersey shore. We’re hunting 60 miles from the closest beach. I really think the earliest settlers from England (Quakers escaping religious persecution) brought them here and just lost it.

[@maxsands3861]

Charlie the CHAMPION!!!! Congrats Charlie! You guys (Lynn too) are ALL lucky to have such a great group of friends, that's what makes the channel.

[@cynthiahappel3697]

Nice to see Musket ball Matt back. Love all the fantastic finds from this field. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@musketballmatt6773]

Good to be back with the guys

[@MF.MetalDetectingGuy]

I live and detect in South Eastern Iowa. I dug 2 roman coins at the same site about a year apart. One of them was set in a small pin/brooch. The site was a popular outdoor recreation area in the late 1800s, so I believe they would have been "repurposed" as jewlery sometime around that period. Not sure how common that was, but thats my theory on how they got to Iowa! Congratulations, fellas! Keep up the great content!

[@billweser8931]

Congratulations on the Roman coins I found one in Illinois. I wish we could share pictures of the coins.

[@Frunkinmine]

Charlie knocked my slippers off with that find! 🎉 Everyone did great, Congrats ya’ll!!!!

[@LuisEnriqueTalavera-by3ln]

Hands down the best dirt fishing videos..... gracias amigos

[@dogtagdoug6751]

De nada mi amigo

[@clamsoup]

You found a piece of the Viking hoard! Brad did some digging with a guy in Europe who was super knowledgeable on the thousand year old coins .... I bet we have an answer by Quarter After. The field of a thousand cobs is now the field of a thousand firsts! Excellent - and God bless those land owners for the invite.

[@dogtagdoug6751]

You’re not kidding! More good finds to come

[@edwardaustin740]

Great episode this week for sure. Congratulations to C.R.H. aka Harley Charlie. He yet again knocks it out of the park..

[@stanwatson4355]

I found a 350BC Greek Phillip 2nd hammered coin up in New Hampshire, so yes they do pop up from time to time. Great find.

[@scoutingforhistory4584]

Awesome Roman coin Charlie! Absolutely from the 4th century, that's when they used the spiky crown on the emperor. Just to say, my oldest coin here in PA is also Roman, 3rd century. It was in a buried cache of old European coins, about 20 all in a small area.

[@ericfairchild5431]

Few years back I dug a Roman coin near Chattanooga TN. About 6 inches deep. In the woods on a steep incline. Didn't look at it close until I got home. Kind of freaked out as it resembled a very rare Roman coin only 2 known to exist. Contacted a friend who is head of archeology at UT Chattanooga, he put me in touch with department at UT Knoxville as they have a Roman collection. UTK Put me in touch with Oxford who has the only 2 that exist. Mine was one year off(older) Without digging out my paperwork can't recall who was on mine but I think dated 221 ad. Apparently there is a strange trail of Roman coins being found from Texas , Oklahoma, Kelso TN, (mine Chattanooga ) and a couple in N east TN near Bristol. Strange stuff!

[@Sanity_Faire]

What did you do with it?

[@ericfairchild5431]

Apparently pretty common coin in Europe. It's in a display box in the den . I will see if I can find the notes and give a better idea of what it was..

[@NaterBater]

I always love seeing the impression that’s left in the dirt from the coins!

[@outlawjjsmith]

WOW WHAT A FIND, CONGRATULATIONS CHARLIE🎉

[@teresathetreasurehunter]

Holy-Moly‼️‼️ Charley Harley👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 How exciting. Congratulations to you my friend…you are killin it with your Legend. So many other coppers, buttons & buckles too. Love watching your videos ❤

[@scottcarter90]

Wow! What a hunt! Congrats on the hammered Roman

[@CobCeo]

I love these field! What a great spot. You are all terrific for giving us something to look forward to each week, and sometimes twice a week when you have the live. Sometimes i get off work early enough to tune in live, or I watch as soon as I get home. I haven't tried winning a prize yet though, I just love 'visiting' with you all.

[@bryantgravley7860]

I never get tired of watching you guys, I would give my left leg to join you fellows....kidding about my leg. You guys are the best

[@markvpinkham]

Great hunt! Good to see Lynn the antiquarian Queen on the scene.

[@AndrexT]

wow, fantastic Roman coin. I call that type 'The guy with the spikey hair'. He was the worlds first punk rocker!

[@patty4091]

Very nice finds! Congrats Charley! What a find!

[@dirtypawsdetecting8182]

Wow what a great and unusual find in the US. Charlie is just killing it. I dont think I could leave that field. The nipple button was anothe terrific find.

[@michaelolsen2348]

Very cool to find coins that old in our soil. Once at my last house after a heavy rain, I saw a newly exposed stone. I decided to dig it up the rest of the way and saw something round and green right underneath it. Turned out to be a bronze Thrace Maronia which is Greek. Was from about 375BC. Very small but very thick. Crazy to think those Greek and Roman coins are super common overseas. Finding those here are insane. Obviously the person that lived there forever ago collected old coins. Amazing video!

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Hi there; I just got told to hop over to see your Roman bronze and what a beauty... its in really good condition and yes I agree it looks like an Antoninianus which was the main coin of the day brought in by Caracalla early in the 3rd century - they started life with quite a high silver content which went steadily down hill so by the time you get to Aurelian you are basically left with a bronze coin which would have been silvered. well done agin; mind blowing!!!!! Maybe the Romans did get over to you!!!! 😂 All the Best QH! 👍

[@TurdFerguson1978]

Clem Fandango and I were going to suggest QH consult you for the Roman coin as well lol 🙌🏻

[@ClemFandango78]

​@@TurdFerguson1978Definitely watching HQ at Nos Da tonight

[@QuarterHoarder]

Thank you! While researching it I did read about the silver content slowly decreasing until it was removed completely. Almost as strange as finding it in the US is all the comments I’ve been getting about other detectorsts that have also found Roman coins in the States.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I saw those too - thanks for getting back!Let me know if you ever get over here you can come and see my collection of Roman coins it would be a pleasure to show them!@@QuarterHoarder

[@nettesusan]

Absolutely amazing finds especially that old Roman coin!!!

[@charlieschemmel122]

[@lukecoughlan7710]

Dude. You comment what they found then it's right there for everyone else to see and you ruin the video for them

[@nathanrentschler3471]

​@lukecoughlan7710 don't look at the comments till after the video....🙄

[@wiseguydigsgold]

Congratulations CHARLIE!!!! What an AMAZING find Brother!!!!

[@mr.beepers1823]

Jason.....I'm impressed on how dedicated you are to record all finds at the expense of your detecting time!! It seems as if your group find goodies at a machine gun rate!! Around here, (Seattle) the finds are not always that good and not that many!! Fantastic finds my friend!!

[@lifeisgoodenjoyeachday438]

Unbelievable Roman Coin. Are you kidding me? Great show as usual. Keep it up.

[@ppratt3]

I couldn't imagine being the only one detecting a field like that. I am doing a field now that is loaded with relics, but very few coins,

[@bulletbob5102]

Incredible find Charley! Awesome finds guys! Just dig up a plug of dirt with a signal and sell it! lol

[@dogtagdoug6751]

[@dusty1498]

Wowzers Charile What A Find! Could not Have happened to a more deserving Fella! I would Love to Know the History Behind that Coin ! Maybe Columbus was late to the Party Lol

[@toughrunmetaldetecting]

Excellent finds all around! congrats

[@busydiggin229]

You guys should come up here to western Mass. With yalls luck you may actually get a pine tree schilling or something

[@dirtclodmetaldetecting]

Wow! That Roman coin is something! Congrats!

[@digginhistoryoncapecod7506]

What a great day of finds! Congrats on the goodies!

[@thomasroberts9752]

Amazing Charlie goes over to england where lots of roimans and hammered are comes back is on your channel and they start showing up here in US W O W

[@yerdigginitmetaldetecting]

Amazing finds guys… man oh man, what a hunt 💥

[@AncientAdventures]

Charlie is finding everything on my Bucket list! Wow! I actually have seen where a couple roman coins were dug here in Charleston, Sc as well. That is what sparked my Interest on finding one! That is so kool! Great Finds! My oldest is a Maravedis but I'm still holding out hope for a Roman! 😊

[@detectnician]

Wow what a great hunt!! I'm in Ireland and will probably never find a roman here so to find one all the way over there is MENTAL! HH from Ireland.

[@myradioon]

Nice. I found a Silver Greek Drachma in an old trunk I pulled from a dump in NC. It's 2000 years old and has the Athenian Owl on one side. The trunk had belonged to an archeologist I figured out.

[@ClemFandango78]

Awesome can't wait to watch it with My girlfriend Turd Ferguson later.

[@douglasangeloni9835]

Congrats all. The headgear on the Roman coin is often called a radient crown (many found in Roman Britain). No doubt a artifact found & brought to America by one of the early English settlers who, luckily for you, lost it here. Love & enjoy your videos.

[@brianselt291]

I think the Roman may be a Claudius II. I don’t know coins but, I see that the spiked crown differs from the one that you suppose.

[@markd3250]

Based on the spiked crown, the shape of the head and bearded jaw line, I agree it looks like a Claudius II (Gothicus).

[@shawnsullivan9547]

The field that keeps giving us episodes! May your next be just as giving. Do you and the crew GPS pin the finds? It might be interesting to see if they form a pattern or concentration of finds to pinpoint where to hammer. I'm not disputing y'all's intuition, patience and skills at what it takes to get each and every episode out to us but long story short, I was just curious 🧐.

[@kevinmargeson2046]

Wow.. You guys are still killing it at the cob field...When will it end? Hopefully not soon....👍

[@rikspector]

I never found a Roman Coin, but I have a Roman Nose... It's Roamin' all over my face:) Cheers, Rik Spector

[@EZDiggin]

Definitely an amazing permission guys!!!

[@trishharrison3618]

Great job Charlie that coin is awesome, great job guys on all the finds stay safe and stay warm, lots of love from West Virginia ❤️🙂

[@PreacherDigger]

I soon as I saw Charlie’s coin I knew it was Roman. Colonialist came from England and England is full of Roman coins, I dig them every year over there. Some Roman coins can be silver with a crust built upon it. Congratulations

[@atuuschaaw]

Y'all killin' it in Jersey! ♥

[@elinatilson6381]

Hey Charley! I think I know where that Roman coin came from. It was a Viking. They were probably sitting around the campfire gambling, and he dropped it 😉

[@josephcormier5974]

Awesome finds my friends this was an excellent video with great content thank you for sharing this six stars

[@TurdFerguson1978]

I'd never leave that field 🤯...what kind of deal do you have with the land owners? Will they want any of those finds ?

[@dansteffee9759]

Great hunt as always 😮

[@TheBIGGDOGG6565]

Awesome finds!!! Was wondering what has happened to Paul the PA pirate?? Never see him with uns anymore

[@YouForgotThePickless]

How do you decide what fields to search? I am west or Rochester NY and am surrounded by fields! I need to get out there.

[@myview1875]

I love finding milled silver coins over here in the UK Matts Half Dime is awesome. 😊.

[@paulevans5455]

An awesome day in the cold weather.

[@adrientucker5949]

Good advice about the signal stopping quickly and being more likely to be a button or coin.

[@adrientucker5949]

And congratulations to Charley!!! Oddly, I found a 100 BC bronze Greek coin minted in Alexandria, Egypt during the Ptolemy reign right in my hometown of Rochester, NY. Probably a similar story about how it got here. Was a foot down with a clay marble right next to it.

[@LeoBower-p2c]

That is a very very old coin wow WOW

[@CentralPAAdventures]

Wow great finds! Looks like Gallienus maybe, the hair seems to match

[@ronwaldron9626]

Amazing dig. I am going to say thats the new field of dreams. I hope it is a secret😮 I would love to see more videos from there. I don,t think I have ever heard of a detectorist finding a Roman coin in the U.S. But they probably have. Treasure it Charlie, its a once in a lifetime find here in U. S.😊😊

[@the717detector7]

Keep Swingin 💪💪

[@jadefurman2840]

I collect roman coins. You have a "denari" The back side will have horses pulling a chariot and rider.
