Title: are you a roman or a hammered searcher Post by: seeker on October 30, 2009, 10:17:23 PM whats in you mind as you search ?what is it your searching for? ive found by talking to ppol that there seems to be two types (roman/hammered),happy with what ever this hobby throws up but looking for ??
im very much hammered :D what are you ??? :) Title: Re: are you a roman or a hammered searcher Post by: The Doc on October 30, 2009, 10:27:08 PM Getting hammered would be my preference, mainly because a lot of the Roman coins that turn up are in such poor condition.

Title: Re: are you a roman or a hammered searcher Post by: TheLoveDoc on October 30, 2009, 10:40:08 PM to be honest mate im over the moon finding any coins , modern or old because it tells me im learning and doing it right when i hear a certain beep and think its a coin. Love finding anything interesting which makes me think about the last person to hold it or obviously loose it..... :)

Title: Re: are you a roman or a hammered searcher Post by: Salty (Karl) Cardiff Scan Club on October 30, 2009, 10:56:44 PM I'm happy with anything that isn't a ring pull or tin foil at the moment, :D
If its of interest or value,older than me, and hopefully in better condition, i'm happy :) :) Salty :) Title: Re: are you a roman or a hammered searcher Post by: benny on October 30, 2009, 11:23:36 PM I've found around five times more hammered silver than roman coins and would love to find a roman silver coin. Hopefully it'll come soon so for me if I'm gonna be fussy I'll say roman.
At the moment tho any port in a storm they say! :( Title: Re: are you a roman or a hammered searcher Post by: Debbie on October 31, 2009, 06:55:13 AM Same as Peter - hammies for me.
I also like Karl's take on this !!! Plus, if it is in Spinks or Benet's and in recorgisable condition, I'm happy. :D Title: Re: are you a roman or a hammered searcher Post by: adesace on October 31, 2009, 01:48:18 PM Bring on the hammies
Title: Re: are you a roman or a hammered searcher Post by: seeker on October 31, 2009, 04:13:00 PM hammies just look the part to me :) if you had never seen a medieval coin you would prob imagine something no far from what we find, full on goth design heraldry and crosses all crisp in silver . not taking anything away from roman coins but for me a hammered dose what it says on the tin ;D :D
Title: Re: are you a roman or a hammered searcher Post by: Mark on October 31, 2009, 06:00:01 PM Ive found plenty of hammered but no Roman (worth keeping anyway) even though my detecting buddies seem to find Roman often, so I guess it's Roman for me, although hammies are always welcome ;D

Title: Re: are you a roman or a hammered searcher Post by: 1morecoin on October 31, 2009, 06:52:44 PM if it's coins, it's got to be Hammered, if it's artefacts then early religious or Roman military.
