here are a few more found earlier this month. note the top right and middle right are the reverse sides of the coins posted above.

i do like the romulus and remus imagery, with the wolf suckling twins. [the fragment next to it is also the same obverse].

the radiates are from 250 to 300ad, but i am awaiting further I.d. from the FLO later this month.

enjoy the pics --

cheers

in the opening post, there is a small trapezoidal button on the left hand side. i am now pleased to identify it as 17th century - which makes it a lovely find.

reference detecting finds book 1.

3 days later -- 3 fragments of fibula, found in a field which produced the buttons above, all within 10 square metres of each other.

the top one in the piccy is a very unusual shape -- any comments welcome.
