I was out all day on Tuesday with DaMonkey and Daveha who had travelled down to experience the delights of Somerset detecting Undecided Well the reason I haven't posted before is that there were no delights Sad at least not on the finds front, though Andy did find a rather nice Rose farthing (his first) and a Vicky sixpence, two Roman grots turned up but it was a very quiet day.
I did find a 14thC French Jetton and guess what?....go on guess?.......................I don't believe it Angry

Geoff, shame on you for moaning about a little hole in one of the many fantastic finds you've made. Roll Eyes

I, on the other hand, was elated with finding the best thing I've  found so far. Hole or no hole. Remember it.

That jetton looks a lot nicer after the quick clean Smiley

Not posted earlier as had carpet fitters in and busy sorting the aftermath out...

Yes it was quite a slow day on the finds front and really hot !  But still better than being in front of the TV Smiley  Thanks for the invite Cheffy Smiley  Be sure to PM me if you want another outing when those other fields are available, we might even get you down the pub Wink  Grin

Here's my offering from the day ...  very pleased to be able to tick the rose farthing off my wanted list Smiley and a roman grot to boot Smiley  Anybody got any info on them guys ?

The roman is a billon Antoninianus (double denarius) of Salonina, wife of Gallienus (253-268AD)

No - by the time that was struck I think they were down to under 10% - at the end of Gallienus' reign you were lucky to get 1% silver!
