Went back to the old pasture field and to be honest struggled. Most signals were old shot gun buts or .22 bullet cases (rabbit hunters). Near to the end of an hard but enjoyable session ( the area is beautiful).I found a bit of bronze that appears to have a human face on it. I don't have an idea what it is or how old. This was quickly followed by a type of find that I found the other month. Until the other month in 25 years I had never found one of these before, now 2 !. After finding the one the other month I searched the net, and they look similar to Roman armour fittments. They were found about a quarter of a mile apart, and looking at them I would guess they came from the same work shop (if not the same craftsman). Shortly after making the find the sky began to brew, so I legged it back to the car.

HH Robert.

Interesting find Rob :o they look like some very early form of hinge :help:
 
Do you think those pieces might be part of some armour? Perhaps the lower end of some Roman armour off a breast plate?
 
Look like suspender buckle snaps or early garter snaps to me....NGE

I "hope" that's what they are, and they do look very similar. Also there was a Roman fort very close by.
