Metal detectorists in the UK quite often dig up military equipment fittings so this applies to the outreach of the Portable Antiquities Scheme too:
Mind you, it's "all wrong" anyway according to this metal-detecting focused organisation, for the so-called Crosby Garrett Helmet, discovered by UK metal detectorists, was of a type that would have been dated to the late 2nd or early 3rd century AD, but was - its finders say - in fact dug out of a pit cutting layers containing fourth century coins. So, something wrong there, eh? How reliable are 'metal detected data' anyway? Comments, PAS?
