Title: Found on Thursday ? Post by: dingdong on June 18, 2016, 06:05:38 PM Hi to all,
This little pot leg came to light while detecting on my 'new'Roman coin find field. What I am wondering is,could this little beauty possibly be of Roman origin ? The reasons for asking is that I've found pot legs before but they were all the same 'verdigree' green colour. This one is brown black, red,and green in colour just seems to be a little different than the others I've found,well,what do you think.? Thanks for reading..👍 Title: Re: Found on Thursday ?

The green is the usual patena of bronze. So go figure.
The only thing you can count on is they are very old. Always nice to find one though. They usually give a cracking signal. ;D |
