hi guys

 out with diggerdave today, and while watching the thunderstorm pass us by to the north, south, east and west ... we carried on without getting wet.

i did enjoy seeing these 3 nice finds emerge after cleaning.

1.] an interesting button ... [and we both found one like this,  20 yards apart!] .. with a fox running!!

2.] a local token with a set of scales on 1 side. I have managed to identify it to a local bakers, in a town not far from the field i was searching.

3.] ... probably the best type of Urbs Roma i have found to date.

enjoy
