What is this? Ancient brooch?

Found in Southern England in an area with history going back to the Romans. Is it a fibula brooch? I’m not sure where the pin would have gone though. I’m unsure if this is its original shape or if it became bent this way in the ground - if it was straight it’s easy to imagine it as a blade or some sorts?

No reviews on Facebook. One review on trust pilot.

Weights again?

Every time I find a giant lump of lead, I assume it’s a weight. Not 100% sure with these ones. Could someone Id for me?

Any idea on what this coin I found could be? Not much to go on. Around 28mm in size and weighs around 6g. Comparison in size with 2 shilling coin or silver florin

Anyone have a metal detector?

I have a time capsule with a coin in it that I buried 10 years ago that I'm trying to dig up in a field. Maybe you can help if you're about Bodmin?

Any ideas what this could be?

I found this yesterday but have no idea what it could be other than it's brass and weighs 30g.

Thanks

Any ideas?

Its copper alloy and looks like a dragon or some kind of mythical beast, lines are hand chiseled and overall it looks post medieval to me but I have no clue what it is, maybe some sort of applique?
