The Past is Under our Feet - Historical Finds for Steemit - See my Treasure
Hi Steemians! I noticed the attention paid to my objects found in my last post and I thank you all for the support and upvote! Now as requested by some here is the continuation of my collection. I chose some pieces and I mixed the photos so that the post is not too long. The rest of my collection in the next post.
- On the left is a Roman fibula, these were used to hang clothes. From top to bottom: a celtic potin, a religious medal and a nummus of constantin.
- I was very surprised to find this coin in front of my house, this is an Argentinian coin dating from 1891.
Dos centavos - Libertad - Republica Argentina
Now let me introduce you my Silver coin. What a joy when you make such a discovery !
- Louis XIV or Ludovicus XIIII a french coin dating from 1675
- A "Maille de Lille" dating from the XIII th Century (certainly between 1250 - 1300) and an other french coin dating from 1867 a Napoléon III - 50 Cent
- Witness of the Dutch occupation in Belgium, here is a silver Willem from 1823 ( Belgium revolution in 1830 ) followed by a 1/2 Mark dating from 1903 (unfortunatly the face with the bird is scratch).
- Here are two Roman nummus, I have always been impressed by the quality and detail of their coins. The first is from Constantinus and the second is a Tetricus.
- I could not identify the first here which is a sesterce. As you can see, the second is stillin constantin which testifies to the longevity of his reign
- Enjoy the beauty of a coin more than 1800 years old !!
- I find not only coins but also religious medals because more than two hundred years ago there was not far from my home a convent of sister.
- Here are some small objects discovered:
- Different kinds of fibulae, note the differences as well as the evolution
- Still a few pieces of fibula and on the right a pinhead.
- It would be interesting for someone to identify this, I hesitate between bells or old grenades. Below, they are keys. The left one is a Roman key, folded unfortunately and a key dating from the middle age.
- Always a key and then the head of a fibula.
All this takes time, cleaning and patience. Do not believe that I acquired all this in a short time, it took me days and hours of research.
Amazing what you can find in the ground.
I just show you the best lol count for 1 coin 10 cans of beer :p In the same time I clean the fields
some great finds in there, well done.
Thanks @bkkshadow ;)
Being a Rockhound I know all about finding treasures on and in the ground. but low hanging branches give me an awful headache :-D. I've not been so fortunate to find the "Holy Grail" of treasures, rock or otherwise. Maybe some day.
A treasure was found not far from my home exposed now at the cabinet of medals. I'm on the Bavay-Cologne road and there are many fields without construction since that time all around me :)
Hope for you (and me) to find the Graal one day :)
Nice! I wear a silver Roman coin around my neck! Love ancient stuff! Mine says L. Censor on the back of it.
cool I don't have a Censor but I have a sesterce perforated certainly they used the same technics to carry their coins
Thanks for your reply ;)
No problem. Love old coins, wish I found mine!
