An interesting mix in the 150 coins I found this week

[*Dig-Dug*]

Unlike last week, it took significantly more than 3 hours to find The 150 coins plus other goodies this week. Monday and Wednesday evening My son and I continued searching the ground behind my apartment building here in Germany and came up with a good mix of older German and US coinage. Wanting more volume today we hit the sand lot playground which always pays off and did so with 85 coins, some inexpensive jewlery, and a couple of toys.

Digging in the dirt we scored 8 Wheat back cents, a dateless buffalo nickle, a 1940 Nazi 10 Pfennig (aluminium and ROUGH), an 1855 1Pfennig, an 1843 1Kreuzer, a rough flat button, and a few tokens (local and US).

In the playground, we got a Silver plated cross, Silver Heart shaped earring, Silver (.925) bracelet that someone got mad at, two different gold plated hearts, and deep under the sand a pin that I believe is some kind of Military Communications pin which I could use help identifying, Keys and other misc. stuff.

Enjoy the pics.

Just the coins


1940 10Pfennig coin - look carefully and you can see the swastika


1855 1Pfennig coin


1843 1 Kreuzer coin


The Wheat Cents and Dateless Buffalo


The Tokens - Rhein Main Officers Club, Old Chuckie Cheese, and an unknown


The Pin I could use help identifying - the writing apprats to read "Getting the Message Through" I'm guessing at the first word.

Do you have to dig that sand lot or can you scoop it like a beach? Great haul, thanks for the pics!!

Great finds,
So many more bases will be returned back to German control this year. If you get a change go to Gissen they have some large bases that we are returning. Here is a link for looking up unit crests. http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/

I am the only experienced hunter on the grounds. three of my co-workers have bought Tesoros in the last few weeks hoping to get in on the take but they still have to learn how to work their machines and understand what they are saying. They have been making some decent recoveries but they are still learning. I don't mind sharing since there is enough ground for us all. I'd rather see them have fun and get their share of the loot.

Nice finds....

I wish I knew exactly where we lived...all I know is: Budigen Oberhessen, West Germany April 1958 - June 1960. Dad was stationed in Frankfurt, where one of my siblings was born at. I have pics of me feeding the chickens and of my birthday party at the house we lived at....but couldn't tell you the location. It was pretty there, from the pics. My parents are gone now...so can't find out the answers.

It would be great to come back there and find the house and metal detect!!!

Wishing you lots of wonderful finds!!!
YIS & YIMD,
Annmarie
