After the disappointing Scan Club rally last week, a few of us went on elsewhere. Debbie, who hasn't had the best of detecting luck lately, made the best find of the day with this denarius of Julius Caesar, from 49 BC. The obverse is an elephant, but the coin is poorly struck and all you can see are its legs. At least the inscription is clear.

Still a nice find though and well done Deb   Smiley

Thanks guys - but something more than the lower half of the elephant would have been nice !!! Grin Grin Still, I am pleased with the coin as it gives an idea of the age that the site was used.  Here's hoping the next one (can't beat a little positive thinking  Shocked) will be whole and in mint condition  Grin Grin
