Another field another silver

[Westfront]

Extending the loose grid in the neighborhood of a roman site into the next field lead to an interesting hunt. Still some roman pottery to find we got loads of signals, mostly WWII trash, but always a sign to be early on the field with little competition.

Here's the stuff....
Brass WWII finds

Lead weights, buttons, buckle parts, rings...

Coins of the afternoon with two 1700s coins and a roman scrappy.

Closeup of the 1768 copper IIII Heller and the 1783 1/24 Thaler.

My buddy had to leave early because of family things and came back after i left and got the gold...
Still some acres to grid....

Outstanding finds! I really like the Thaler coin, I'd love to find one of those. Congrats.

Pic of the gold piece added. What do you think? Looks more roman than early medieval to me.

You European diggers amuse me. The vast majority are all out looking for Roman stuff, and call WWII finds trash. As an American, I would gladly come over to help you get rid of the WWII "trash"

Nice finds by the way!

It's not that WWII finds are always trash to me. I like a good find with some history from any time, but if you remember the times as a kid when rifles, canteens, helmets could be found when wandering the woods around, these .50s and driving band frags didn't get my heart going.

You've got so much history to find and recover in Europe my friend.
As Ethan mentioned, you guys consider WWII finds to be trash, yet here in North America that kind of history is exciting to us.

I love the look of this button, it looks to be late-19thc aluminum or possibly pewter?

I don't know what this is. It's a cap with cnurled edge, sitting on the end of a crushed brass tube. Not made for removing from the tubular end from whatever was under the cap.

That would be a great thing! We got merowingan finds from there before so early medieval is possible and way more rare than roman.
