24th Dec on a roll

[Detectski]

After Henry VIII made an appearance yesterday I got a soaking and found what looks to me like a celtic silver today  . I can see the text CVR, and horse with carriage, any ID help i.e. tribe or rough date appreciated..

[Detectski]

ok changed mind, probably not celtic, roman denarius more likely...

A cracking find and a great Christmas present

Now thats the sort of proper Roman coin I'd love to find.  'Made in Rome'  Great find.

I think he might have been at one point - I known him for about 16 years now.

I gave the denarius above to the farmer with a bottle of wine in the end as he seemed to like it when I called round to show him. He mentioned he's quite keen for the Welsh equivalent of the Staffordshire hoard to turn up in one of his fields, that makes two of us...
