     Well Christian, I never tell exact locations on the internet.  
    The English hunters have searched fields for years and many have found wonderful things.  I bet the German fields have been barely touched compared to the farmers' fields in England.  On another forum, Bavarian Mike described finding  a gold coin recently in a field in Bavaria.
     We feel that bigger items would be in forests while smaller lost things would be in the fields.  This isn't always true but in a general way it makes sense.  An enormous pot of Roman coins was found in an English field so you never know.
     I got my good ideas about where to hunt European battlefields by reading and looking through books at the San Jose State University Library in California.  You have tremendous resources for research in your own back yard. I would love to be able to read German and have major libraries near me.  I would look through the old maps, books, journals, diaries, etc. and have and unlimited source of leads.
     Just imagine  all the habitation sites that disappeared through the ages.   The site that yielded the sword, key, and the many other items I will post must have been a site of habitation through the centuries as displayed by the relic ages.  We have searched it quite a bit but there is nothing Jungle Jim and I would like better than to spend a couple of weeks right there.  The coins must be deep though so we would need a super deep detector.  That site is in the woods and one would never guess people lived, worked, and died there.  We just got lucky on that one.
It makes up a lot for the countless hours of coming up empty handed.
    I hope the future holds another trip and we can look for another sword.

Just like to say well done for finding such a great site , and I don't blame you for keeping it a closely guarded secret they are hard to find. Smiley

I wish you all the luck in the world and look forward to seeing some more of your great finds. Smiley Barrie

The place to find better types of Military finds arn't the battlefields..it's the campsites where the soldiers stayed for a time..thats where they lost buttons and badges ect...always look for the camp dump sites.

Hey Dandequille,
I just read this post and you said you read books at San Jose State Library....any chance you live in CA?   I see your finds from Europe and other places. Very cool finds and wide variety. Ron
