I made it out this morning for a couple of hours and within 5 minutes of being on the field, I pull out this little beauty.
One of the finds advisors from UK Detector Net (Folkert) stated the coin pictured above is as listed below:
Commemorative coin for Constantinopolis, obverse : head of C. to the left, reverse: Victory with shield to the left. Mint : Ttier (TR.S), 330-335 AD
I do believe that the mint is Trier instead of Ttier as he mentioned but I may be wrong.
This is the best Roman coin I have found to date---third one this year----third one ever--but third one this year sounds better
The size is just slightly bigger than a dime, but smaller than a nickel.
Thanks for looking!!

Nice work Scott! Nice find as well!
So how long before you have to go stateside and miss out on all that cool over seas detecting?
Thanks for that. We are leaving here in 21 days. That time is going to go quick and I hope I can get out as much as possible to maximize my finds from the UK.
I'm just lucky enough to be here in "Detecting Paradise" and just happened to walk over the coin. It's way more luck than anything else!!!!!
But I'll take the "Dude, You Suck" and smile the whole time
Needless to say, I was VERY HAPPY!!!!!!!!

Savor every second of the time you have left.
Where will you be when you go stateside?

John,
I am trying to enjoy as much time in the fields as I can. It has been pretty cold out there the past two days. We are going to Southwest Oklahoma to a little town called Altus. We've never been there, but we are pretty excited about it.
Laserart,
It might take me quite awhile to figure out who dropped it way back when
Thou hast me green with envy. I knew you'd do it.

Yep, you have to be right. "Ttier" is a typo.

Almost if not impossible.
Super sweet find... enjoy it while you can. Hey at least Oklahoma should be a lot warmer!
Geez, he's got me so jealous, with all this stuff he's dug lately.
