Title: Re: rally finds from gileston Post by: ancientpat on August 29, 2016, 03:33:37 PM Nice lot of finds Mike apart from my silver thimble I had three copper coins , oldest George 11. Would be nice to get the seal identified if possible. I wouldn't mind going back to Gileston again in the future as it always turns up good finds. I noticed that he has maize fields still to crop in October.
Pat ;) ;) Title: Re: rally finds from gileston Post by: Val Beechey on August 29, 2016, 03:35:04 PM Nice, well done Mike. Were they from the known hot-spot ?
Interesting seal. Lovely find. Title: Re: rally finds from gileston Post by: Mike on August 29, 2016, 04:49:23 PM Nice, well done Mike. Were they from the known hot-spot ? Interesting seal. Lovely find. the seal came from the manor field , 2nd hole of the day :) , all the romans did indeed come from the known hotspot which i gridded for over 2 hrs , worth the effort though :) :) Title: Re: rally finds from gileston Post by: Dungbeetle on August 29, 2016, 04:57:16 PM Looks like you had a good day Mike, I like the seal. I've got a similar one which Mark Lodwick dated to 12/13th century. Well done.

Geoff Title: Re: rally finds from gileston Post by: probono on August 29, 2016, 08:33:55 PM Nice finds there Mike - The top and the right hand romans are house of Valentinian (Securitas Reipublicae and Gloria Romanorum I think, the last Arelate mint) - the other two are House of Constantine - the left being the man himself - Soli Invicto Comiti and the usual Gloria Exercitus.
NIce seal too. Didn't have much luck myself - I'm thinking that I might have a damaged coil as my detector has been very sparky recently and the coil cover has a crack in it. btw I went off to a sheep filled field and found a toy cannon and a bottle though :) Title: Re: rally finds from gileston Post by: dances with badgers on August 30, 2016, 10:06:41 AM Weldone mikey.did'nt think there would be much left there
