The best of several hunts, lots of pictures...

[Bavaria Mike]

The best of finds from the past several hunts, in no order. First is a 1931 silver 1 Gulden coin from the Netherlands/Holland, obverse. Legend reads Wilhelmina, Queen of the Netherlands. She must be Queen Beatrix’s mother.

Reverse of the 1931.

Some of the lead finds, I particularly like the spindle whorl, could be 4-6 hundred years old.

I think this is the bust of Hitler on the obverse of this aluminum pin.

Reverse of Hitler pin, top reads Der Fuehrer Dankt, 1935, Amtlich and a few letters I can’t make out.

A few relics, two brooch type pins, a ring that the stone fell out of when I dug it and Christ holding a child.

Obverse of a nice little 1744 silver.

Reverse of the 1744.

Obverse of an 1824 silver.

Reverse of the 1824

An exciting coin find, obverse of a 1637 silver 2 Kreutzer from Augsburg. A pine cone divides the date in the middle. The coin was completely coated with a crusty light brown patina and I had no idea what it was. Took about 2 hours of short dips into silver cleaner to remove it.

Reverse of the 1637, sorry about the bad picture. A double headed eagle with a 2 in the middle.

An aluminum badge commemorating German Labor Day, date of 1 May 1936, a hammer and sword to the right, a plow under the date and a German Eagle holding a swastika.

Reverse of the badge, I can make out the word Creussen, a town nearby. Thanks for looking and HH, Mike

Great finds. The Tinny of Hitlers Bust is from the Winter Relief Fund 1935-36. On the reverse are the words "The Führer Thanks You!"

 

[Bavaria Mike]

Thank you for the ID help Harry, it is clear the initials W.H.W. would mean Winter Hilfs Werk (Winter relief fund). HH and nice badge, Mike

Those are some excellent finds ....Great job...but I really like that headless Horseman ....there is really alot more detail on it than regular lead figures and the Christ and Child figure is great also.

Another group of great finds Mike.

I used to know a guy who hunted the Ardennes Offensive sites and he really found the coins and just about everything esle. I have in my office a 37mm cannon casing he dug out of a gun position. I never cleaned it and it's one of my favorite relics.

Good hunting.
