The first target was this ring. Probably 9-10 AD.

It's already freezing here... It's this time of year (and only this time of year) that I wish I lived somewhere warmer for the sake of detecting. Awesome finds!

I can't hunt from june to the end of September. It's very hot and is very common to encounter different kind of snakes. This is the perfect moment.

Thanks buddy! The key is very interesting because it's iron and still in good shape.

It's a flat one. Probably it's a late Roman.

Thanks buddy! Yes, you're right. I've found coins from 4th BC till 15th AD. The most of them are around 2nd BC to 1st AD so I guess that was the best period for this area. In 1273, a there was a very strong earthquakes that destroyed e few cities around this area.
