Several of you have pointed out the MAJOR Audio problems in this video I am sorry; I had even edited out all the sniffles and HQ is a disaster! I think I must have pushed something to knock it all out of sync! Won't happen again! 🙏

Congratulations on the finds. I recently found my first ever Sestertius, unfortunately the chalky soils down here in Kent destroy everything copper and bronze that's older than 150 years or so. All I could see was the slight outline of the head.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Well Ive never found a sestertius like that normally they are crumbly or very smooth - either way, with no detail!!! well done though on yours 👍

[@andypne5454]

Really enjoy watching these videos. Never been metal detecting & probably never will but always in the back of my mind is the thought that the Romans didn't half lose a lot of coins!

[@grassypants4450]

They certainly did and they lost most of them in Alex's field 😉

[@HolzHammerSagas]

ha!😂@@grassypants4450

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I know.. that crosses my mind too Andy, but then it was close to 400 years of occupation so it sort of makes sense... I detect on a field where there was a small house until the 50s... you wouldn't believe the amount of mordern-ish coins etc in that field .... from just ONE small building!

[@JohnHF1957]

Hi Alexander. What a great day of quantity and really stunning quality. That sestertius is in great condition (I think the reverse might be Fortuna) and the follis is superb. (it looks as though it is a RIC VI 519b,II/ 520b/ 525b, depending on what Maximian is wearing, from Trier 302-303 AD) Despite its size, that field really is worth traipsing over again and again.

It gets drilled as soon as the last crop is harvested that field! But thats good too as it cant get too done too quickly! Hope all well John and All the Best!

I have a similar sestercius, lovely bit of metal 🙂 Well I clean my roman coins with a toothpick, enough on my sandy soils, but I have a difficult soil and I use the pencil with the brass end to clean them, juste like you, you scratch the concretion until you get to the patina, and it is magic, it doesn't damage the patina on bronze coins (it does on copper coins)
