2046 year old Roman Silver

We found a field not planted last weekend. Some roman pottery on one end, a bit more walking yesterday and we got loads of pottery and roof tiles on the other end. Annoyingly i don't have permission there and don't know the farmer as it's not in an area i hunt much. We did it the other way and detected slowly along the gravel road. 45 mins in the hunt a Mercedes SUV pulled into the road. The farmer.... I apologized for not asking, explained what we're doing, negotiated finds share and got his ok. Unfortunately the main area had lots of dug holes. Most are fresh from last night as they don't were there saturday evening when we spotted the pottery. It's no good site close to a road with traffic... I don't had much time today and chatting with the farmer and his wife was near one hour, so not much time left for detecting.

Here are the finds:
Lots of pottery, nails, buttons, marble and tiny glass bead, coins with the Roman Republic MARCUS ANTONIUS AR Denar 32-31 BC Oldest coin for this year until now.

Westfront... I believe you are referring to The Late Major Clunn, it was he who found the battlefield whilst researching, I have his book The Quest for the Lost Roman Legions The late author discovered the battlefield. This book is a combination of the account of his discovery, the artifacts he found, m(Including the mask you posted) and his theory about the course of the battle, with that portion recounted in fictional style built around the history.

Yes, i was in the Osnabruck area in the early 90s and visited Kalkriese when the first finds where on display in a provisional museum in a barn of the farm were the excavations were done. They had excavated the road and you could walk through the area between the sections. They had also reconstructed the sod walls of the ambush! I have some paper pics from that somewhere...
