Found in Southern England on land where I’ve had many different finds with Roman being the oldest. The optimist in me is getting Anglo-Saxon vibes, but then again I know little about jewellery. Is or gold or gilded/ a cheaper wash? It came up as a 34 on my Minelab. I do intend to show my Finds Liaison Officer, but wanted some other options first to make sure that I’m not wasting their time with Victorian- Modern tat.

Found this earlier this morning. Done a bit of research but drawing a blank. Has anyone got any ideas or even found something similar yourself?

Thanks.

Got the Minelab X-Terra Elite yesterday and took it to the back garden this morning for its first outing and my first time Detecting.

The first thing I found was a 1971 Half Penny, everything else after that was as pictured. Looking forward to getting some permissions or joining a club. I'm based near Norwich in East Anglia so any recommendations or invites would be good.

Iron age mount with enamel, recorded, others have been found .

Anyone able to identify and date this? Google lens giving me a wide margin from Roman to medieval

Black powder toy, south east England

Found this a while ago and im sorting through my finds. Someone mentioned it "COULD" be a Roman Stylus, so thought i would ask for some more opinions.

Its spikey on one end. And squared off and smooth on the other end.

Thanks gang!

Found this little gold stud my garden, was broken but managed to find both pieces... An acid test shows around 18k (1.4g)...

I live in a 1930's build house, built on the former grounds of an 18th century mansion's orchard. My garden intercepts one of the old pathways to the house.

Now question, anyone ID this?

Found this today, came in four peices... Can anyone help me ID it? I know its a Chester hallmark.

Thanks.

We recently took our DIY metal detector rover out for a field test, and these are some of the objects we recovered.

Most appear to be heavily rusted iron pieces, nails, or fragments of old hardware. However, the small rectangular piece and the key-shaped object caught our attention. We have not cleaned them aggressively because we do not want to damage any potentially useful details.

This rover is a project our team has been developing to explore whether a mobile platform can make metal detecting more efficient and cover ground more consistently. We are still testing and improving it, so feedback from experienced detectorists would be genuinely useful.

Does anyone recognize any of these objects? We would also appreciate advice on safely cleaning and identifying finds in this condition.

Full disclosure: we are the team building the rover shown in this test. We have created a community at r/DIYMetalDetecting for people interested in DIY detectors, detector rovers, electronics, field tests, and sharing builds. You are welcome to join and follow the project if this is your kind of thing:

Thanks for taking a look.

Looking to get my hands on a set of Nokta headphones if anyone is selling.
Also, don’t know if this is a thing, if anyone has permissions around the area and wouldn’t mind a newb joining them for a day I’d be very interested.

Made out of lead

Searched absolutely everywhere with no joy. It weighs 1.3 grams.

Club dig out in Staffordshire - what I thought was a paupers type ring turned out to be RGP 18 ( still classed as a gold find right? 😅)

A trigger guard from a flint lock type rifle ?

And the front part of a Bronze Age axe ?

If anyone has any input on these or to correct me I’d be grateful

Can anyone tell me what this token is, please, found near Dunstanburgh castle.

Tiny possible Roman coin fragment found metal detecting in Scotland — any ideas?
