Todays Silver Coin.

[JBM]

Hi guys Forget that I detect in the UK this is worth a read.

I found a Roman Denarius at about 12" and Feeling very pleased with myself put it safely away.

When I got home I started looking in the reference books and Found that it was a Tiberius and he Ruled the Roman Empire in the years 14 - 37 AD.

The reverse Shows his Mother Livia.

It gets better for those who went to Sunday School.

This coin was known as a Tribute Penny in the Holy Bible.

Mathew 22 (17 - 21) "Therefore render unto Caesers that which is Caesars" etc.

I certainly remember some of the words never dreaming that such a coin would come to me one day.

Wherever we detect research before and after a dig makes the hobby so much more rewarding and exciting.

A happy New Year to you All.Jerry.

It's amazing that something almost 2,000 years old came out looking so good. You should be very proud. Congrats. Ron

Greetings, JBM.
What A wonderful find. I will be heading to Budapest Hungry in July and will take a detector. I will be staying with a friend there, and have permission to hunt his property. I will S$#T if I find a coin half as nice as yours. Happy Hunting Grounds,

I went to England in 2005 and hunted for 2 weeks. Best time I ever had. I found the same coin too. I still find it fascinating to look at - it's age, beauty, etc. Just think, your coin may have been held by Jesus!
