More great finds this weekend...

Did about five hours on this field over the weekend, it is a flood zone, stream at the end of the field.  I figured there would be a lot of trash but, there was very little trash and many finds.

The surface finds, a few pieces of glass beads, glass button, an intact clay pipe bowl and my first, an odd seal made of glass, and a styles that could have been for writing.

A torso, two religious pendants and five buttons, two of the buttons look to be military.

Relics, upper right is an intact crotal bell, below is a broken bell.

More relics, a small army wagon made in England, a silver utensil handle marked .800.

Found several interesting lead finds.

More lead, cool Carp fish in the middle, upper right is a clay marble and not a musket ball.

25 coins, oldest was an 1800 and average was 1875.

Learn by my mistake.  I found this coin folded in half earlier this week, tried to clean it today and bent it open just for a little peak.  Well it let go and I nearly broke it in two.  I should have heated it first.  It is a 1667 silver coin, OUCH!

Reverse of the 1667 silver, date at the bottom.  Sorry about the vague explanations of the finds. HH, Mike

And my puppy dogs, a Husky (Cordie) and a Collie German Shepard mix (Rex), I call them both Hound Dog and they always come, LOL!

Hello Mike,

next to what city in Bavaria did you find those relics? I have noticed that you have dug quite a bit of WWII stuff. Next to Augsburg (where I hunt) we must have had very little war action as I hardly find anything related to WWII.

What kind of fish is this in the picture? Jewlery?

It's a pitty that the silver coin is damaged. Unfortunately damaged coins are to be found pretty often.

Keep up the good work,

Christian
