I would love to be able to go metal detecting and find ancient coins. If only the Romans made it to the US.

It's almost too incredible that you can actually find these coins in the ground! Nice group!  |

The coin third from the bottom appears to be a Trajan AE?

That would be great if you could sell some here at CCF.
Congrats on finding those coins!

For future reference, over 90% of your images is wasted on background. Use the free program at http://www.irfanview.com to crop that and make the images around 450x450 pixels. |

Perhaps a secret that is too well kept is the Image Optimizer available right here on Coin Community. Under the box in which we compose our postings there is a link marked "Free Image Optimizer". You can use it to resize, crop and compress images to fit the CC posting limitation of 100K (which is a bit small). It defaults to settings that work but you can change them and may want to if you have cropped the image a lot so you can bring the new version back up to a bit under the limit. Using the Optimizer does not automatically post the image to CC; that is a separate step. While that seems like extra work it also allows you to use the Optimizer on images you do not want to post but just want a more compact version for personal use. The program is used online and not downloaded to your computer. I see nothing wrong with Irfanview or any of a dozen other ways of making images suitable for use online but a few minutes spent learning how to fill in the boxes on this Free Image Optimizer might just be the easy way to do what needs to be done. |

Yes, that image optimizer here is useful and should be used if you don't have an image editor. I happen to have Paint Shop Pro, so I use that and keep copies of the photos on my hard drive. Once the image is cropped, they are a lot smaller file size and it doesn't use as much space since you have 1GB to use for the CCF album. And then there is the 100K limit. I haven't had a problem with the limit since I crop those images.

There's nothing like buying from the source. The image resizer is a useful web app, if you don't have any optimizing software or hosting site. Edited by DVCollector
