Title: romans and bullhead today Post by: Mike on December 02, 2012, 05:58:51 PM spent the day down the vale on one of my favourite farms managed to winkle out a couple more romans and this bullhead shilling which when found was turned inside out like half a tennis ball , the reverse is totally blank like its been worked with a hammer or tool very odd :-\ :-\ :-\
the mini walking stick thing looks to have a bit of age about it ( and before you start taff its not my walking stick :D :D ) any ideas would be great thanks :) :) Title: Re: romans and bullhead today Post by: WeCan-Octavian on December 02, 2012, 06:01:38 PM very nice mike ;D
Title: Re: romans and bullhead today Post by: Chef Geoff on December 02, 2012, 06:02:45 PM Well done Mike ;) the "walking stick" is the pin of an annular buckle
Title: Re: romans and bullhead today Post by: Neil on December 02, 2012, 06:03:13 PM Well done Mike. The pin looks like that off an annular brooch, but I might be wrong and it could indeed be your golf club!
I would guess that possibly your shilling was in the process of being beaten into a ring. Nice fins mate and a Roman as well See you soon Neil Title: Re: romans and bullhead today Post by: Neil on December 02, 2012, 06:04:14 PM Flaming Chef - beat me to it by 18 seconds!

The one roman is a Gloria Exercitus type, Lyon mint c330AD - most likely the other one is of a similar age, as I think all the other ones you have found there have been. |
