Hi guys, found this in a field (small coin shape), quite unusual as it has two holes in it, I think it's copper but numbers were lower that usual for copper on the equinox 800 coming in at 15
Next item found in the same field, I have no idea what it is.
And the last one with the three holes, I have some Inklings but not 100% sure

Well, the first item is likely a low Copper, maybe Bronze coin. The second item appears to be some type brooch or pin and is likely not extremely old and I am thinking 1950s to 1970s but could be off on the age. The third item appears to be related to a drawer pull or cabinet door knob cover and could be mid 1800s to mid 1900s.

First one is a roman bronze coin, it looks way over cleaned, the last item is a drawer escutcheon.

Admittedly I did scrub it up a bit much, it was completely unidentifiable, thanks for the id m8 [emoji106]

The detail was there, just soak it next time in something like distilled water, or sometimes olive oil will lift the detail.:icon_thumleft:

I was thinking possibly later than Roman as it appears to have a large Shield on the Reverse! I am not very knowledgeable on Roman coins. Does any Roman coins have such a large Shield on the Reverse?

I think the reverse is camp gate.

Not quite this is the Globe on Alter reverse.
it was probably holed in the Saxon period as jewellery.
