Had a good weekend of detecting, a good 6 hours! Saturday was a cold day, 37F/2C with wind on an open field, was good to see I could hang in the rough climate and know I can go into more extreme. Sunday after trimming some hedges in a light rain I was able to get out. Employed my 17 yr old son who never has enough pocket money, LOL, and we got it done in time for me to have about 2.5 hours today in the sunshine that came in the afternoon. Ground was a little frozen but still easy digging. Here’s the finds in short, some buttons, two black glass and a blue glass in a metal frame.

10 musket balls and lower right is half of a clay marble.

3 more musket balls, a lead seal, a lead bullet and another clay marble intact.

A few relics.

6 of the coins, 18??, 1842, 1924, 1922, 1911.

A nice surprise, obverse of an 1881 .900 silver 1 Deutsch Mark in good condition. Almost missed it when I realized I had gotten off course from my grid line, went back and detected the section I missed between rows and found the silver. Same size as an American Quarter.

Reverse of the 1881.

I finally broke into the 1700s on this field with 1750 Bavarian King Maximilian silver 3 Kreuzer coin. It is in poor to good condition, thought it was a copper when I found it as it was very corroded. I stopped cleaning it with silver cleaner when I could see the date. Obverse.

Reverse if the 1750. On the lower legend the date of 17 is at the 0700 position, (3) at the 0600 position and 50 at the 0500 position. HH, Mike
