MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1563 Posts	Posted 07/21/2025 5:18 pm @Spence, Yes, luckily the chip seems to have missed the details of the coin. I am always chuffed when a find comes up that nice. Generally speaking most of the Roman stuff that comes up just a grotty mess. I have found thousands of Romans and still the thrill of finding one in a coin ball makes with good detail makes me excited. On the same permission all day this Thursday, will post anything worthy.
