I have a very difficult times looking at your posts. I have to keep telling myself that the mountain of clad I am accumulating has purchasing power and I could someday buy something amazing with it. You go out and dig the most amazing things all the time. I love the coin and the crucifix.

I managed to identify the coin:
A.D. 610-641 Heraclius Copper Follis
Description:
Heraclius, Ć Follis, 612/613, Year 3, Cyzicus, Officina 2
d N hRACLI-PERP AVG
Helmeted, cuirassed bust facing, shield in left hand, globus cruciger in right
Large M, A/N/N/O to left, cross above, II / I to right, B below
KYZ in exergue
27mm x 28mm, 9.74g
Over 1,300 years ago, Byzantine emperor Heraclius became the redeemer of the True Cross! When Persian king Khusru II destroyed Jerusalem and seized the True Cross, Heraclius led a crusade to recover the stolen artifact. He successfully reclaimed the sacred object, which had originally been uncovered around 326 by Helena, mother of Constantine the Great.
