Hotrock is fully masking small roman gold coin. XP is producing audio as it was pure iron!? Does this mean that XP will indicate all the gold coins in soil as iron, in case there are some hotrocks around? I am afraid YES! So…. PS There is sudden phone sound in background (somebody from my house dialed some number without knowing that i am shooting video in next room), do not be confused about it. I could shot another clip to void phone disturbing again, but i decided not to, because it is not a big deal anyway…

it might be fake. a lot of those owl tetradrachms were faked or copied as replicas for use as deceptive forgeries or museum souvenirs, etc.

well they could be fakes or replicas. you should make sure they aren’t fakes before trying to sell them. and wow, bullshit: you won’t get robbed at night or whatever. enough with the fearmongering. just don’t be stupid with them and you should be fine. don’t go to shady people or say “hey! look, this coin looks old and useless, but it might be worth like five grand!!” out on the street and you should be a-okay.

@antiquities33, in 4:10 you see an owl and a letters ‘O’ with a dot, it means a ‘fire’ (this is symbol of it), next is ‘A’ and ‘E’. Whole is translated as ‘AFIRE”, [A fire E]. While ‘Afire’ means “BEANO”/ pleasure/ joy/ (sex).

About Persians being the second to initiate coinage, they weren’t. That would have been the Greeks. Further, the Persians for many years used coins only in the far west of their empire, largely for trading with the Greeks. Persians called neighboring tribes “barbarians,” and the ancient Greeks called the Persians “barbarians.” Ancient Greece was a more advanced society. Whereas Greek city-states were initiating democracy, the world’s first, Persia was a tyranny run by a despot.

“Unfortunately Persian civilization was wiped and destroyed many times by barbarians and now the west just ignores so many facts about them.” You can’t be a Moslem and at the same time be proud of the “dark” times before Islam. Let the Persians shake off the yoke of Islam , come back to Zoroastrianism and then and only then we can talk about who ignores what.

Depends on the condition and state of preservation it is in. Good ones go for USD 1000 and more.

It is interesting to know that Persian were about the second civilization which used and replaced coins with bartering system after Lydians (being the 1st). Unfortunately Persian civilization was wiped and destroyed many times by barbarians and now the west just ignores so many facts about them.
