Go Up Go Down

It was a beautiful day here for late November, sunny and about 55F/13C.  The field I chose to hunt today was plowed a few weeks ago, laid down nicely after plowing and the rain we have had has compressed it, also borders the Death Ally, one of the oldest roads of the town.  The field was perfect for detecting.  Had a teen girls physical education class come by when I was at the edge of the field, they were Nordic Walking.  I thought Oh noooo and I did not see them coming!  Their teacher approached me and said the girls would like to know what you are doing?  And she did too!  So I shut down the detector and explained my hobby, showed them a hand full of finds I had made and gave them a ten minute history lesson of the town.  Just so happened I was able to point out a few areas of historical significance to the town from where we were standing, not even their teacher knew the town was founded in 1008 and had moved in 1250AD from its original location, one of the areas I pointed out.  Their eyes really lit up when I told them they were walking along one of the oldest roads of the town, Death Ally (Der Todesweg).  I have to admit, I really enjoyed the meeting.  Their teacher asked if I was American, I said yes and she said, how do you know so much about the town?  I said it?s my hobby.  Here?s the finds, first picture is the field, still have a lot of it to cover if I can get to it but, I have two more days in this weekend.

Some buttons.
{alt}
Three glass bead halves, a whole bead, half a terracotta bead and a small piece of ceramic.  The Archaeology dept. asked me to pick up ceramic pieces as I go so I pick up a few of the unusual pieces here and there and will include them in my finds when I visit the Archie dept.
{alt}
The coins, not in great condition.  Two 1921 Aluminum 50 Pfennig coins, a 1924 Brass aluminum, 1890ish coin, 1940 zincs, 1875 and a few others.
{alt}
Obverse of a rare lead seal, this one has a date on the reverse.
{alt}
Reverse of the lead seal with a date of 1867.  Found one last week that has an 18 on one side and a 19 on the other, possibly 1819.  I have many lead seals but only a few with an actual date.
{alt}
A few relics, an ornate metal piece, a possible harness d?cor, a newer buckle and a very nice copper thimble.  The thimble is in great condition, thought it was a silver thimble as it has a very nice patina but after a careful look, it is copper.
{alt}
Seven musket balls and two lead bullets.  One of the musket balls looks to have been chewed on.
{alt}
And finally, a poor condition Bavarian silver coin from 1828.  I was thrilled to find it and thought I could see the date of 1798 in the field.  After cleaning it up, I was not sure of the date so I had to research the king.  King Ludwig the first was king of Bavaria in the 1820s and 30s.  This may be my contest entry for Bergie?s contest.
{alt}
Reverse of the silver 1828, date is at the bottom and hard to make out.  It is a 3 Kreuzer coin.  HH, Mike

Mike...I see you find many plain buttons in areas with musket balls.
I bought a book in German called  "Im Frieden Wie Im Krieg"

Shows that many early Military units had plain buttons.
