Detected a little bit of everything today. Took my car in for services (I?m in Germany, no Veterans day here) and detected a church down the road from the garage. Got a little disoriented walking through town but then I saw this sign, now I know where I am, LOL!
Detected the sides of the road leading up to the church, just about 1.5 meters off the road. This is where children will line up after a wedding with a rope blocking a newly wed couple until they throw money out the window to the children, it?s a tradition and a darn good one!
Found a little over $12.00 in clad Euros and a few German Marks, great way to wait on my car being serviced. The $12.00 didn?t come close to paying the garage bill, LOL!
I grudgingly paid my bill at the garage and drove to the drained lake. This lake has 3 beaches, this beach is smaller than the public beach, it?s on the camping side of the lake. Detected here for about an hour or so then went over to an even smaller camping beach for another 45 minutes.
Found 9.50 German Marks, $5.50ish, and 80 Euro cents.
Also found some jewelry, the thick ring is the only silver, the rest is junk.
Went home and had lunch. Wifey asked me if I was going back out detecting, surprised, I said YES! So went to a farm field for about 1.5 hrs. Here are the relics. A watch winder, button, button, musket ball, lead seal with the word Salt, another lead seal and a lead bullet.
Obverse of the coins I found, 1906, 197?, 1925, 18??, 1940ish, and a nice 1935 Aluminium 50 Pfenning coin.
Reverse of the coins.
A very nice relic find. After finding hundreds of musket balls, I finally found their maker, or at least half. I had no idea what this was until I cleaned it, a musket ball mold half. I thought it was an exciting find! Thanks for looking and HH, Mike
