Mate my second signal today on the CTX was exactly as you said a ring pull. I do get plenty of silver paper as well because the farmer used some green waste a few years ago thankfully just the once and not as contaminated as some detectorist's has had to put up with, tell you what I will put a post up of the rubbish next time ;) ;) ;)

I've just been trying to I.D your coins but hey I'm a novice at it so it's probably wrong.  Is the top one Flaccus 77B.C  or Fabius  124 B.C,
Couldn't find the second one but I'm still looking.  Fabulous finds Paul.
I'm sure a picci of the rubbish you dig will ease your conscience and make us realise how much hard work goes into finding your finds.  ;)

And the other two are the bronze Urbs Roma / Wolf and Twins and the Julian Siliqua - Arles mint - I'd love to find either an early den or a siliqua :) It's nice to see both from the same site.
