Happy Easter and I know its Easter as it has rained all day here in Germany, LOL! Finally got some time to detect so into the rain I went, detected a field I haven?t been to but have had permission for two years. Detecting along, a man drove up and got out of his car, I thought oh crap, it?s raining and this guy stopped, I haven?t met the owner of this field as I received permission over the phone, thought he might be the owner so I walked over and introduced myself. Turns out he is a farmer and owns the other surrounding fields and was just curious what I was doing. I showed him a few finds and he said he had found several Swedish horse shoes in his fields dating around 400
years old and believes an old road once went through his land. He invited me to his farm for a look but I had to decline as I wanted to detect. He also gave me permission to detect his land but its rough plowed so he said I can come back after he plants the fields, what a nice guy! He came back about 20 minutes later and showed me a nice horse shoe that surely dates to the 1600s. Had a real good day in spite of the rain and detected for around 3 hours, then the wind, rain and mud just got to be too much. Here?s the finds: 3 lead seals, one has crossed hammers on it and is probably from the 1700s and a nice dog license tag dated 1890, 15 Marks was a lot of money for a dog back then.
Obverse of three coins, from left to right an 1865 copper 1 Pfenning, 1921 Aluminum 50 Pfenning and an 1838ish copper 2 Pfenning.
Here?s a special find, a WWII badge with a swastika, date of 1942 is hard to read at the bottom below the swastika and the back pin is intact. The metal is mostly Zinc and is in nice condition coming off a farm field. Thanks for looking and HH, Mike
