Chef I had a hour on the stone area again, it was hard going nothing was coming out, I went to all metal and there is a few nails in the area but they look more modern, but im sure they are all over the field.
One thing did come to light off the stone, but I haven't a clue what its from? the rounded end would of had sides/faces like a diamond, but the photo is not showing very well......It looks to be old but what era I don't know.......... Wink   
It looks a bit like a part of a roman trumpet broach like the one I found

That looks interesting Dale. Nice patina on it. Is that a button next to the cut quarter ?

Hi Val,

Im glad you spotted that, I forgot about that one.

The field I started to detect once had two stone coffins, there now long gone the stone was reused and ploughed out, they were found in 1750 and thought to be Ironage, so I thought I had a good chance of a nice Celtic unit... Roll Eyes

I actually thought I found a unit being the item you questioned, going back to the car to look under light I noticed it wasn't a silver unit....... Undecided
Iv placed it next to a silver Dubunni unit just to show the colour and texture of the metal, it looks like debased silver to me.........is it a button? silver? I don't know Smiley

Same area Geoff Cheesy

I'm sure you know, but your quarter is a class 5 (or 5b) Miles at either Oxford or Winchester (shortcross). Nice one.

Not sure about the button thing - definitely looks coin-like on one side, but it looks as if it has had a shank on the other.

Cheers Probono, I haven't id it to be honest LOL, I could see (MIL) and that it was a  shortcross so I knew it wasn't a Bristol and never bothered to check it out:Smiley

Im not sure about the button thing either, as you say it looks to of had a shank at one point Wink
