We all dream about finding a settlement but I'd settle for a trading post any day. Point of interest, are you finding any pottery ?

Title: Re: A couple more finds of last week Post by: probono on June 27, 2016, 09:17:51 AM Alan is correct - the coin is of Constantine the Great, reverse SOLI INVICTO COMITI (the unconquered sun and his mates), struck in London (PLN mint mark) - it's a reduced follis or Ae3 (depending on which book you want to look at!). Around the 310AD mark (without looking it up properly).
