Hey all, was detecting in a local field yesterday for about an hour and a half and had a good day, finding 10 coins (6 half pennies, 1 penny, 1 pound, 1 shilling, 1two pence)
I also found a gold coloured badge or button and a little buckle

However the best find was a metal head sculpture which i have no idea what it is, so if anyone has any ideas or knowledge to what it is please share them with me Smiley
Many thanks Nick

Hi,

Welldone on your finds, sounds like you had a productive day.
If you got any pictures to post on here they would be very helpful. I'm sure someone can then give an identification a good go.
