A few finds from a night hunt this week...

[Bavaria Mike]

I was on a business trip all week to an old area where the Celts were, many of the small medieval towns date to the 800s around here. Received permission to detect a nice flat field at a farm not far from the hotel. Told the farmer I would be detecting at night with a headlamp as I didn’t get off work until 05:00/1700, he laughed and gave weird look. Only got out for one night hunt on the field for about an hour. Here’s the finds, a poor condition 1875, a WWII zinc 5 Pfenning coin and a clay marble. Was surprised I spotted the marble at night but it was plain as day under my light and we have had a lot of rain. Also bought a used Minelab X-Terra 70 with 3 coils, should have it in about 10 days.

The hunting has to be done just like all the other chores,day,night,hot or cold. I hunt at night quite a bit,recovery times are a little longer but once you get into a groove its not much different than the daylight. Keep swingin'...Shoot

Thanks for the nice comments! I enjoy detecting at night. Had a PM asking how old the marble is, I think it is from the early to mid 1800s but could be earlier than that. Did a little research and found that Germany revolutionized marble making in 1848 going to glass production. HH, Mike

I love hunting at night... It gives me an opportunity to practice my Jedi powers of pinpointing items in the dark.
