Cool finds - as already mentioned - where are you located ?
 

DetectingWithM&N,

Welcome to TNET. Unfortunately I am unable to help you with your finds but can pass on a warning. I would be very careful where I detected in Italy. From what I have heard from a friend living there that it is very illegal to detect anywhere outside a beach area - and even then it is selective to which beach is allowed. Penalties include definite loss of detector, a fine, and possible jail time. The Italians are serious about the government owning any lost treasures or artifact. Good luck with your hunts. Walt
 

Doesn't look typically Roman to me. Looks to be a broken pair of Deer Antlers from a big statue?

Post #6 addresses it well.
 

I'm sure its ROMAN .... Someone was Roman around and lost it .... HA HA HA
 

The first photo, in upper left corner, has a piece with a round hole through it. I don’t ever see this piece in its entirety. Looks to be the same material. Is there a reason for omitting it? Did you weigh them? They appear quite heavy for hair clips.
 

Nice find :) Could it be some type of clothing clip (TOGA)

I think the picture contains many things but he is only asking about these 2 items.
