With only 2 hrs to spend in the fields i didn't got much, but i was happy with the Bronze to Silver ratio of 1:1.
At home it come true what i was thinking with the blackish denarius i found. The lady is Juno Moneta and the reverse shows anvil pliers and hammer, topped with the Pileus, cap of the blacksmiths.
Juno Moneta was a goddess and in her temple in Rome coins were minted for centuries. Thats where our name money came from.

Some say the tools show the tools needed to hammer coins, some say these are just blacksmiths tools.
So say Hello to this old Lady!

Carisius, 46 BCE AR Denarius, 18 mm, 3.62 gm Obv: head of Juno Moneta right; MONETA behind Rev: implements for coining money: anvil die with garlanded punch die above; tongs and hammer on either side; T CARISIVS above; all within laurel wreath (Cited from: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/juno-moneta-die-anvil-tongs-hammer.298102/)
