Hi I think

1 is some sort of mount or broach possibly Roman.
2 looks like it is an upholstery tack
3 is a button (ya will find loads of these)
4 not sure but does look like a roman broach I have seen on a finds database (will see if i can find it and post link)

Paul

Ps I am probably wrong on all except the button lol

This is what I was thinking about for no 4 however having seen yours in close up I am not so sure now.

Oh and no 5 a musket ball

I have the same item as your number 4. Here is the FLO explanation
Early Medieval Strap fitting circa 1350 (FLO)

hi thanks for the replies has anyone any other ideas dates etc on items especially the brooch
number 5 do you mean its a musket ball mould ??
another pic from the side as you can its concave with little lugs on it

the area where all items have been found goes back to the bronze age also it does have history on all other eras

(coin1) http://img44.imageshack.us/g/p8160191.jpg/

(coin 2) http://img153.imageshack.us/g/p8160181.jpg/ picture is not the best i will take some more if needed

(coin 3 ?) ok not sure what this is my first thoughts was a coin it does have a date on it looks like 1653 if you look were the item is flattened on pic 2 (the item is 2 inch in diameter)
