We got permission on a new farm this week and tried the field looking best from the few which were open for detecting.
No cropmarks but some roman pottery, high ground near a creek.
Here we go:

that axe is awesome. The WW2 stuff looks like a .50 cal round, a few 20mm casings, and some shrapnel.... must have been a bit of a fight going on there

Nice!

The whatzit is part of an early medieval horse harness strap guide/junction.
