This is a summary of 2 hunts actually.
The big silver Mark 1875 and the strange gold-gilted token were found on one day along with some of the more modern trash and coins.
The Roman coins and the small silver were found on the second hunt where I had the privilege to hunt alongside a friend in a Roman area.

21148364_10213973979254057_883115700_n.jpg1 Mark 1875 Silver and 99% sure a worn 3 Kreuzer from Bavaria date is 182(?) (cant read last number)

unfortunately someone hammered a nail through the top of the 1 Mark, generating an iron oxidation stain. (probably a pendant or hammered on a doorpost as luck token)

Wow - it is amazing to me to see Roman coins pulled from the ground, and this is a great set of finds! Congrats to you! :occasion14:
 

Really nice old finds... Great hunt !!
 

Looks like your in the right areas. At least the Magnentius is OK & a bonus silver. The token thingy looks like a jewellery copy of an Arabic coin (at least 1 side).
 

VOT/V/MVLT/X is a Latin abbreviation for: Votis Quinquennalibus Multis Decennalibus. It is a vow (prayer) on the fifth ("V") anniversary [of the emperors rule], more for his [hoped for] tenth ("X") anniversary.

Yes, basically giving thanks for 5 years & hoping for 5 more. Sometimes these aren't even the right timeline, they lied.
 

Thanks for all the ID help from everyone. I took these pictures outside in bright sunlight (too much light) with a decent tablet camera but the quality is not as good as I wish, I need to find a better camera and take the pics inside with better lighting conditions.
