For some time now my hunting buddy and I have had this ongoing oldest coin contest and he has been the leader since we started with a 1850s dime (for Oklahoma that's really good) until yesterday. I was hunting yesterday alone in an area I have had really good luck. Anyway, I thought I would hunt the big field where it is littered with shredded aluminum, soon I happened upon a patch of ground no larger than 2x2 feet and hit several soft but high tones with my Deus. I ended up with seven old coins......... I mean old.........European old. This area is where vendors set up to sell various items such as jewelry, collections, and artwork. I highly believe that a coin trader had a little spill resulting in the find. I'm very wary of fakes and expect disappointment but if I were going to fake these coins I would at least make them a little more recognizable and it probably cost more to fake them than they are worth. I may have just found some of the oldest coins (metal detecting) in this area.
I was able to find two of the coins on the net so far and I believe one of them is a Roman (Valens) coin dating from 364 B.C. to 378 B.C. and the other one is a Greek coin dating from 238 A.D.
Anyway, tell me what you think.
