    A couple more items recovered and cleaned up enough to get a look at and share. A couple of these I'd like your opinions on.

    Bronze ingot I almost tossed as junk!

    Weight cube found very near the ingot.

    No, I didn't clean up after my dog here. I would like an opinion on this. It was very near the ingot (10-15 feet). It's bronze and still has a lot of crust but I'm nervous about removal. It appears identical to images of "Aes Rude" but this is outside my experience.

    I believe this is more modern than the other items but pretty sure it's a pendent. Thought it was a coin but as it cleaned up it became obvious.

    Thanks.

    Cool finds. What is the weight in grams of the cube?

    That should make it possible to determine if it matches a known weight standard and what period if history it is from.

    Here are a few items recovered today. Not sure I'm ready to call the round bronze piece a coin yet. No markings but has a hole in the center.

    All three items as found and uncleaned.

    After some water and toothbrush. All items have a green patina. The rectangular items appears to be a ingot broken in two. The large piece in concave and dished in on the back.

    Ideas?

    Thing with the hole could be a button.
