Mix of Roman and Medieval
Posted: Fri Aug 28, 2026 5:09 pm
These are the best of my most recent finds from two different permissions, one predominantly roman, the other medieval. No doubt could have found more but the conditions were a nightmare. Far too hot and the soil like concrete. May have to rethink my detecting strategy if the harvests are going to be earlier going forward and summer heatwaves become the norm.
Anyhow the roman coins are probably 4th century, help with identification would be useful especially the denomination of the larger coin. The brooch although somewhat damaged is a second century trumpet brooch derivative I believe.
As regards the hammered coins I think one is an Elizabeth half groat, the cut half a Henry III and the third coin is to far gone. Again any help much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
