Superb objects.

 

I've just come back from Rome where we did the whole colosseum/forum thing.

 

I really loved it. You must get a big kick out of finding stuff like that.

The Silver Groat is a wonderful looking coin.Imagine the characters who have held it or exchanged it..? I find history fascinating!

yes Mick - there are plenty of days when you find nothing of note, but it makes it more worthwhile when you do.

 

Rome - you lucky boy:thumbup1:

Even in October the sun can be pretty hot down there. Having Irish descendency mean I have to be careful.

 

Here's another one over the forum, the ancient heart of Rome. We did the whole guided tour thing.

 

Hard work, but well worth it.

One of my life's highlights doing Rome Mick, explored most on our own but shelling out for a guide round the Colosseum was worth every Euro.

Fantastic place.

Yes, we loved it Mark.

 

St. Peter's square was really something as well.

 

Pictures not upside down on my iPad btw.

Done quite a bit of detecting in the past, Paul. Still have the detector, (laser power max 2) but haven't used it in a while. The thrill of finding a hammered coin is something never to be forgotten. Found loads of junk too, my most unusual find was a unused condom, wrapped in foil, with a manufacture date of 1973.
