Go Up Go Down

Had a tough work week of business being on the road, no time to detect and I was in some old areas.  Also got some bad news at work, half of our staff was just laid off, I made the cut and will be moving close to the French border to continue employment.  On the up side, the region I will be working in offers great detecting that dates back to the Bronze Age.  I got out today on my home fields for about 3 hours 34F/2C brrr.  Thought it would be a Ho Hum hunt but, the targets just kept coming and I found several interesting relics!  I was concentrating on those deep faint signals and this is what came up.  A pewter bell about 2.5? tall, it is broken and junk but still interesting.
{alt}
I?m not sure what the top piece is, found it in two pieces.  A canvas button, a Maxwell instant coffee tin before it was good to the last drop, circa 1950s General Foods.  A piece of metal with Fleur De Lis within a Fleur De Lis and a bar that held 5 American bullets.
{alt}
A few more relics.  I found several harmonica reeds.
{alt}
Two horse bridal collets as I think they are called.
{alt}
A religious medallion, a lead seal with a B on it and what looks like a cane tip.
{alt}
Five buttons, one military with a 3 and crossed cannons and one gold plated with the Bavarian lion holding a sword, a crown above the lion?s head.
{alt}
Reverse of the gold button shows a crown and a legend of ?Fuer koenig und vaterland? or ?for king and fatherland?.  This is the best gold plated button I have found.
{alt}
Three coins, a 1924 bronze 2 Pfennig, 1923 aluminum 200 Mark and an 1807 silver 6 Kreuzer.
{alt}
Date side of the coins.
{alt}
A small brooch that looks like a 5 leaf clover, the leaves are glass and fell out when I rinsed it off.  Looks like it had stones all around the perimeter.  It still retains a small amount of gold plating.
{alt}
The Bavarian lion made of lead or a mix of lead and zinc.  He is a little bent but I thought it was an awesome find.  He is leaning on a musket ball, the Dime for size.  I have found many buttons and coins with this style of lion on them.  HH and Happy Holidays, Mike

The round ball to the far right with a tip on it has been IDed as a Prussian Grenade from mid/late 1800s.  Will do more research on it, trying to find a picture of one, it probably had a handle or a stem attached to it.  Seems to be small for a Grenade.  HH, Mike
