When you find goodies like that you don't have to go out too often.  Nice one Geoff.

The little coin looks like an Ant of Claudius Gothicus (c. 270AD) - the large coin is as you say a sestertius of Severus Alexander - the reverse legend shows 'P M TRP X'..... so it is from 231AD - I didn't look too closely at the personality, but it's quite possible it is Providence. Nice to find the denarius of Mamaea too.

A sestertius is definitely on my list of things I'd like to find - must have given quite a signal. What date were the other denarii that you found from?

Strangely enough the Sestertius gave an awful signal that I could have easily missed but it was a bit oblique and deep.
Unfortunately all the Deni's are early 3rd Undecided Though I have found a silver (poor) Antoninianus and a Billon denari of Postumas so I'm hoping this will show more a trading area rather than a deposition.

Not managing to get out half as much as in past years as headphone building seems to be taking every waking hour. Today however I had run out of parts and the suppliers have only just managed to send them out which meant that I escaped for 3 hours this afternoon.
So back to Nicks hoard field it was, though it proved very very quiet apart from some deep bits of lead. The next door field however was a different story with first a Sestertius/As then a radiate and finally Denarius all in the space of half an hour.
The Denarius is the 5th from quite a small area so I may have to hand them over for treasure Sad
Nice coins there Geoff,hurry up and find that pot mate Wink Wink
