My first medieval silver

[Aquila]

I had permission to hunt new fields and hunted two days these sites. Owner told me these sites had been hunted earlier. So I tried to find what other detectors had left. I found some old coins. Here I found my best coin ever silver 1/2 öre that was used 1571-1592 and old klipping 161?. Also buckles, buttons and other relics.

congrats on your first hammered, is it debased silver?

I like the Lion looking object, what is it from?

Thanks . More lion photos. It is very small chance it is Roman because Finland is too north. Only few Roman finds in whole country :P. I dont know material or how old it is . Silver coin is not too good condition but silver it is anyway. Swedish silver coin info here http://ingemars.se/aldre_sv.htm

Must be late medieval was my first thought. It was mounted to?

The tooling on the back (filing) looks to match other late Med. stuff I have found

Very nice brooch.

I know little about Finland history, I just say what I see based on what I find. I'm pretty sure it will turn out to be 1550s-1650s.
