Go Up Go Down

The weather has been awesome here in Germany and I have been taking full advantage of it.  Got in a few hours here and there on 4 fields, one field produced 35 coins and a few relics.  Oldest coin find was a crusty 1800 Austrian copper.  The following field is where the gallows was back in the medieval days, there is some speculation where it was exactly.  There are a few houses beyond the trees and some say that is where the gallows was however, it was an incline, why not put it where I am standing as it is flat!  There are four fields here and I have permission to detect three and have not really found anything very old besides a few buckles and pieces of buckles.  There is also a street cut out in the middle of the hill top, street is named ?High Court?, the site could have been under that and may be gone.  Here?s the field and some of the finds.

Some of the average buttons and a very nice condition German military button with a rampant lion facing right, late 1800s.

A tag with a 67 on it, a medium size buckle with some leather strap remaining, an older buckle and a piece that appears to have been a harness decoration or mount as it has a lip and where 3 pins would have been.
{alt}
Five lead seals and 4 musket balls.
{alt}
Some of the relics, two crushed aluminum thimbles and a broken copper thimble.  A nice little blue glass bead, religious pendant, copper ring with a green stone, and a small cross.
{alt}
Some of the nicer coins of 39 total.  Unfortunately, the field in the picture above, produced the most but has many stones and rocks in the soil and was not kind to the relics and coins.  Dates here are, 1875, 1908, 1851, 1851, 1800 crusty, 1924, 1924.  The silver is eluding me.

Two nice weights of different styles.  The lower left weight is a 50g and has many quality assurance hallmarks.  The right bowl weight is also a 50g with 4 hallmarks and is in very nice condition with a beautiful patina.  Top stack of bowl weights are previous finds shown just as an example, they were shaped like a bowl and stacked to conserve room in its container with the scale.  I had thought this style was used primarily in the apothecary business but they were used as common weights for all purposes.  I will have a lot of time this weekend as I just put my wife and kids on a bus bound for the snow covered mountains on a ski trip!  Paying money to visit snow is just wrong and besides, I don?t ski.  HH, Mike
