An awesome week of finds...

The field I have been detecting gave up some awesome relics this week. Had a hail storm come through one evening when I was in the middle of the field and fortunately, I had a ski cap on and a hood on my jacket. Must have been an omen as I found another Roman coin shortly after the hail stopped and the Romans were not settled here. I was only able to detect 1/3 of the field and I am not sure if I will get back to it as I will be moving over the next few weeks. Here is a beautiful church I passed most days on my drive to and from work, digital camera could not take a nice picture but here it is.

Here are the better finds. Also have a handful of worn copper coins, buttons, relics and a few clay marbles. The lead finds, 3 musket balls, a possible spindle whorl, two lead seals and a lead tag with no markings.

A homemade buckle, an old cracked thimble and another buckle.

A large encrusted religious pendant.

Obverse of an American sterling silver marksmanship badge probably from WWII. Would not fit into the original post.

Reverse of the badge. Had two mounting pins and the hangars would have had the qualification level of expert, sharpshooter or marksman.

Close up of the sterling mark, note there is a ?G? near the sterling mark.

A poor condition swastika pin, pin is also intact, it will not clean up as it is made of zinc.

A beat up aluminum swastika buckle but this is the nicest buckle of this type I have found of 3-4.

Obverse of a large Roman bronze Sestertius, very worn.

Reverse of the Sestertius, looks like it had a building on it.

Another Roman bronze Sestertius encrusted with a patina that may have helped to preserve it. The obverse, appears to be a bust facing left.

Reverse looks to have two people standing.

A nice silver coin dated 1687 with St. Kilian (Kilianus Sanctus) on the obverse holding a sword to the left and scepter to the right. Cleaned it with a toothpick and silver cleaner.

Reverse of the silver coin, date of 1687 in the middle divided by a coat of arms. I have not researched it much and do not know where it is from. I had a good week! HH, Mike
