Is the artifact in the top right a key?

Is the artifact in the top right a key?

I was thinking a strap end 

Alex.

[Marcus Aurelius]

I tought it is key,but who know 

[slokind]

I thought it was the tongue end of a LRB buckle, therefore agreeing with Alex.  If you are at a university go to the excavation volume, Corinth XII, which those at the excavation nickname the Telephone Book, though its real subtitle is Miscellaneous Finds.  Pat L.

Very nice finds. Every time I open this thread to see your latest finds I am envious!

Wow 

[slokind]

And I say that's a beautiful job of cleaning it!  Pat L.

Just going to post some from the last 2 weeks, some of them are not ancient but Romans are the majority.
I've just got a Minelab Explorer II and this is by far the best machine that I've had. My first treasure case back in 1996 was a purse loss of coins of Elizabeth I, mostly sixpences. I've been back to the site every year since hoping that the turn of the plough would bring some more up but with no luck until I used the Explorer last weekend and got 2.
The other highlight of the week was an Anglo Saxon sceat of Eadbehrt.

[hooverman]

Sceat of Eadbehrt and a couple of Septimii.

[areich]

Even the commonest LRB would be a treasure if I found it myself, I envy you!

[DruMAX]

that  Elizabeth I is in fantastic shape!!

[hooverman]

The coin maybe but Lizzie sure isn't.....

They didn't spare her a 'warts and all' job with her portrait !

[His Star]

AMAZING bird fibula!!!

Andrew

Andrew,
that is what I was thinking too, really nice bird!!

Hey! I metal detect here in the US and wow! Just last week I found 2 wheat pennies, 7 beer pull tabs circa 1967, and an Ipana toothpaste tube.....ahem... 
Marcus's finds always amaze me.
Basemetal.

[PeterD]

Obviously Americans are just as careless with their money and their rubbish as the Romans were!

[Scotvs Capitis]

I find pull tabs in the most remote and unlikely places, even where I am sure no man has tread in 100 years, yet they are there. 

Metal detecting is fun, but one must accept the fact that most metal detecting is more of a service to mankind as glorified trash cleanup.
