A medicinal box hit on this place, cca. the 1970 from years, 2 pieces WWI iron cloak projectile, a pistol ammunition case, from a spoon curved scythestone holder, and an 1894 10 heller coin, and a military button.
I tell you thank you for having looked at it.

Somebody can help, that the Roman coin which can be seen on the last pictures original? I found it in lake Balaton on Hungary.
The descriptions implement sinew:
Roma. L. Cupiennius. Denarius. ( Ag 4,41 g ) 147 BC. Helmeted head of Roma right; behind, cornucopiae; before, X. R/ Dioscuri galloping right; below, L CVP; in exergue, ROMA.
That trouble, that over is good at a state and a dot is missing it l after a letter and the two sides of the coin turn away in 45 degrees from each other.
I say thanks for all ideas.

I think I'm going to move to Hungary. Nice find. Sorry I can't help...I don't know anything about Roman coins. I'm sure someone on here does though. Congrats on your finds.
 

Here's your coin:

L Cupiennius Denarius. 147 BC. Helmeted head of Roma right; cornucopiae behind / The Dioscuri riding right, L CVP below, ROMA in ex. Cr218/1; Syd 404.
Is yours real? I have no idea, but if so, you've got a great coin.

Alright so I have been curious about the ancient coins you guys are pulling out of the ground. The laws of turbation basically state that the longer something is in the ground, the deeper it will get due to a number of influences upon it. If we are finding seated dimes at 8 inches here in the states, I would think that a coin minted 2000 years earlier would be quite deep. Are you guys finding these in only plowed fields? Or plucking them out of undisturbed ground? I am not doubting your finds by any means, they are awesome, I am just curious.
