Go Up Go Down

Rained most of Sunday afternoon, better than snow and I finally had to admit, it was going to be a wet hunt.  So I got geared up and headed to the field hoping to find the other piece of the sword buckle.  When I arrived at the field, it stopped raining and I enjoyed about 2 hours then it started raining again.  The holes filled faster with water today but I can?t complain as it should be frozen solid now.  This field is about 200 meters from the original town of 1008-1250 and there was a farm there even closer lasting into the 1400s.  The field is on a gradual hill and at the bottom it was flooded with several inches of water.  I watched a car drive up and park, a woman got out, changed into rubber boots, headed my direction through the water and up the hill, I knew it was not the owner and just thought, this should be a good one, LOL!  Turns out that she is an avid fossil and mineral collector and was curious how a metal detector worked.  She followed me around and watched me dig foil and junk for about 15 minutes then I finally found the nasty button in the picture below.  I asked her if she would like to try the detector but it was very muddy by then and she declined.  She asked about buying a detector so I recommended a Garret Ace 250.  We had a nice chit chat.  Here are the finds.  I did not find the other piece of the sword buckle.  An aluminum seal from Denmark, a button and a lead seal.

Two small buckles, top buckle looks really old and is made that way, not broken.  A small link that I?m sure is silver, no markings and is small and a  religious pendant with the likeness of Joseph and Marie, Marie on the reverse.
{alt}
Six coins, date side up.  1921, 1924, 1925, 1931, 1930, 1935.

Opposite side of the coins.

And my favorite find of the day, an intact jingle bell that still has the ringer inside.  It was in a hole with a nail about 8? down, hit both signals within a few inches apart using a 7.5Khz, 10.5?, DD coil on the XT70 and both targets came up.  A strange thing about the bell, it had no dirt inside and was hollow when dug and this hole did not fill with water.  Anyone no how far back do these types of bells date to?  There are no numbers or hallmarks on it and it has a whitish patina over a green patina, that is another strange thing about it.  Also was out this evening for about 45 minutes between rain, found two coins in poor condition on a grass field, they date around 1850ish and late 1800s.  HH, Mike
