1807 silver coin, a Mother's cross and other interesting relics...
Got in around five hours on the field where I found the gold coin over two hunts, it’s a planted corn field now but the corn is only 2” high so it is still a nice field to detect for the next few days. I have detected this field hard over the past three years and it still gives up the goodies! Here’s the finds, a few relics, not much to look at but I still respect their historical values:
The lead, upper left a more modern spindle whirl followed by 5 musket balls. Middle left an aluminum seal with an anchor and middle a lead seal with a sheep on it:
A Maltese cross half to do with religion, not a military iron cross. On the right a bronze Mother’s Cross, awarded to Mothers for having 5 or less children during WWII. It is missing the swastika, I realized what it was and pounded the area around it but couldn’t find the swastika. The reverse is crusty but I can make out 16 December 1938 partially when the award was instituted, A. Hitler’s signature is also on the reverse but not visible. I think if I clean it, it will lose some enameling.
Coins ranging from 1800 to 1938, I placed their better sides up.
While detecting today it started to rain just enough to make it miserable but then this nice 1807 silver 6 Kreuzer popped up from King Maximilian Joseph of Bavaria. The darker grey areas are actually what remains of the coins original luster, very nice for a farm field. Obverse:
Reverse of the 1807. Thanks for looking and HH, Mike
