Following trips with my friends in an area about 65 km from my town , also in the neighboring county , but a few miles from where I found last fall roman gold ring , I was lucky to find clues to ancient sites. The first object we signaled something was a gilded bronze fibula , unfortunately poorly preserved. Next came all sorts of metal objects such as knife blades antique , a piece of iron fibula , also twisted arrows Roman type , iron tools for processing wood , nails , roman bronze buckles , roman iron hairpins , a standard weight for scales , a flat stone blocks split , a medieval spur , etc..
Posted in photos some of the results of what I detected there.So long my friends :hello:

That is some awesome history you have at your fingertips. Those spear points would be dream finds for me.

Sure would like to find something that old around here,I have only found early 1700's.At any rate,you certainly did very well,in fact I voted BANNER!!!!!! God Bless HH Chris

You got a bunch of relics there. :icon_thumleft: Good soil for iron. The spur is nice and the arrow tips are fantastic!
