I gave my finds bag a tip out today to get rid of the accumulated dust ect, and out of the bottom popped a few assorted bits of small rubbish including the tiny (approx 12mm) bit of dirt covered “lead scrap“ below…
While double checking this rubbish, I realised this bit of lead was in fact Bronze, and had something on it…
After cleaning, I am thinking (well, hoping!) this maybe a small Roman coin of some sort?
Any opinion would be most appreciated,
Regards,
Peter
