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.

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!

The Glass seal went on a wine bottle 18th century ish.

The Crotal Bell is fish scale pattern which is one of the earliest & rarist types.

You had a great weekend.

It's impossible to resist trying to bend things back into shape. I love the fish!


Nice work!

Could the bent coin have been a love token?
I have heard that when lovers were apart one would give the other a bent coin.
Great finds.....

looks like you had a nice weekend, that coin from 1667 is incredible, my oldest german coin is 1685 copper, probably I shopuld move to your apartment when you leave :).

Hunting for the flat I guess not easy - we make it now too for my wife in Thüringia, hope to have some MDing there soon
