    Went back to the 1830s farm site for a couple hours this afternoon and found some more flat buttons. The largest one I found is a match to three others I have found there in the past.

  7. Help! Lead artifact, Roman seal maybe?!

    Hi guys, new member here! Found this while detecting with my cheap detector, could you please help me ID it? I've done some research myself, and I think it's a roman lead seal/ring. But I would need some experts help from here. Thanks!
