At last! Back on the good stuff with some fantastic items of silver and some great relics too with the XP DEUS 2 metal detector
Great to be back out on the Roman site which has produced denarii and hammered coins in the past as well as milked silver and today it kept on delivering!
Join me on an epic treasure hunt in Perthshire, Scotland

That ring shaped item definitely looks like a coiled snake. Google showed me a lot of rings from the Roman period with a coiled snake, from the wear on it that appears quite old and might even be older than Roman if I'm honest, but I'm no expert. It could be a pendant, or something that would have had a cord or belt through it. I think you had some interesting quirky finds this time out, but I think that one is probably the most significant. More of that field please!

I wonder.if the concave relief portrait came from a grave marker. Grave markers from Edwardian period through the 1920s often included relief portraits. After fields are ploughed, look for examples in your local cemeteries. More recently, photos are etched into metal or actual photos are encased into glass. Your portrait is about the right size for a grave marker, memorial plaque or historical marker. In any case, it is a nice quality portrait. Bring it with your to the museum.

I think the converse face is a Victorian curiosity may be illustrating the Hollow Face Illusion - when you tilt the face it appears to move in the opposite direction. My late colleague Richard Gregory 'discovered' this effect but there are examples from antiquity where people must have be aware of the strange perceptual phenomenon.

I know some commemorative pewter things were made after him, maybe one in brass too?
