Title: club dig find of the day :-D Post by: sharkey on May 24, 2015, 06:38:16 PM hi all was good to be out today, in amongst the cows, soon fled when i started talking about wanting a big mac! got plenty of the usual buttons / buckles / coppers and late in the day, this surprise Roman! snapped my spade just prior to this, so spade shopping tomorrow :D
just managed to nab find of the day from Keith ;) and what a prize, just need to win one of the next patch of xp caps now! thanks a lot Keith! scared to clean the Roman at the moment, so these pics are the best i can do for now. it measures 27mm and any i.d would be appreciated. cheers Sharkey Title: Re: club dig find of the day :-D Post by: mister T on May 24, 2015, 07:00:25 PM That coin is an absolute beauty Andy.
