This is the best find of my life. Period! From the same field where the gold coin came from. This is a votive lead tablet of The Danubian Horseman or Tracian Horseman.There was a mysterious cult which we know very little about in Pannonia,between the 1Th and 3Th century.This tablet shows all they goods and sacred animals and object they idolized.Unfortunately i have broke it with my shovel.I've glued it together temporarily,but will send it out for professional Restoration.Size about 1/8 inch thick and 3.5x4 inch.I still dreaming about it,and i see the piece .... intact!!! Enjoy Pannonian

That piece should be in a museum. You should be proud of finding that. I'm happy just to be in the 1800's club :-\
