1585 Silver and other bits

[Westfront]

Yesterday we discovered a fresh field near the one from last weekend. The surface was light frozen so it was easy to walk and not that bad to dig. In the first 15 minutes i had a good deep signal and dug near 30" just to find a rusty bucket But on these fields You can expect anything so i couldn't pass by... After that start we had lots of good signals, but most were buttons german Wehrmacht (Army) related. A Wehrmacht buckle was under the finds too. Crisscrossing the field leads us to some older finds and some coins. Had a nice 8 Heller coin minted 1585 in Cologne, a scrappy roman As i believe, a french and a german zinc coin.
A nice small buckle too and my personal favorite is a little lead vase. Dont know what it was used for, drugs? May Cru can help out... Other finds were the usual .50 bullets, lead and othe junk. Thanks for looking!

It is a little weird. It is definitive a WWII buckle, but it is the design from the buckle of the german army AFTER WWII.... (missing the swastika) Condition is good for finding in a ploughed field.

Nice hunting! Wow for 1585 Silver.

Thanks! It is not the exact year, the design of my coin matches a 1585 one. Could be a year or two up or down.... No year on these coins.

These were thought to have healing powers & were also placed over doorways. However, another common use was to bless the ploughed land & ask God for a good harvest. The vessel was then placed in the ground
