Went back to the field i hit friday and got some keepers after finding a better spot. I managed just one little part of a flint blade and two flakes but two crucifix with wooden inlay, one of them with christ figurine made my day. Got some big roman pottery shards, a toasted roman As as only roman finds. Modern stuff were some bits 'n pieces with a gilded medaillon and a gilded swastika pin with sword and spike. Good day!

Thats the question here... Most likely both came off rosarys. Hard to date, but with fragments of ebony inlay still remaining early 20th century. The one with figurine is possibly WWI related, found a match online. 1916 WW1 Feldrosenkranz Feldmesse Feldpriester 1 Orden Militär Schützengraben | eBay With the hole of the hanger rusted shut it had an iron chain like the rosary in ebay.
The sword and spike swastika is darkest Nazi ideology. Someone heard or read about "Blood and Soil"? Blood and Soil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and also the symbol of RNST. Reichsnährstand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bitter history for sure.
