These are today's finds. A small 13th century buckle, a nice short cross cut half penny 12th century. A large pin from a medieval brooch. 13 th century And then to top it all a Roman silver coin, that's been waiting for me to find it for around 2000 years. Got to love this hobby. The coin as seen better day's but who cares. Robert,

Very early denarius, I think it tips into BC.

Well I would be right on my guess if it were 2BC,,,lol I knew I recognized the head from others I have found, just couldn't place it, until you stuck this up. Nice ID.
