Hi Folks,

Thanks for including me on this forum. I was out yesterday on pasture in Stirlingshire and got a good 2 way signal.
The item seems to be copper and is concave on the back with no visible fittings. The front clearly has a head on it. I am not sure if it depicts a ram or if it is a persons face.
Plenty of other interesting finds also with the vanquish 540.
It would be great to hear if anyone knows what it is.
Thanks in advance
Chris.

I have no idea of age, but that is a very interesting find!
I am sure someone will be along to give you more information.

Thanks Wackers, I have seen some similar items on PAS but nothing as decorative. Hopefully someone will know indeed.👌

Yes I really don’t like Roman coins, I’m not joking
