Just a little something I found

[DFX Tim]

Just a little something I found a while back before I left for 7 months of training with the Army. I'm back in Germany now looking for a detecting partner in the Hessen area (Wiesbaden). I've detected with Trent (Birdman) from this board a couple times before he left Germany last year. Anyway, hope you like this

Hey Tim

that sieve is really nice.

What kind of metal is it? Any idea?

It's Bronze from the looks of it and the time frame would suggest the same. I sent pictures to the British museum and they said the same thing. I found a couple silver and bronze coins around the same general area so it was a pretty productive day.

Hope that helps

It is fun to find something "different".
Thanks for showing us and I hope you find a hunting partner soon.

Thanks for your service and God bless you and keep you safe there in Germany.

That's a pretty awesome find Tim.It would be nice to find away to re-attach the piece's for display.Cool find!!

Neat find! Congrats!

Thanks everyone! It is an old find (2006) but still rather recent for me since I just picked the detector back up a couple weeks ago. The military is pretty relaxed here so it looks like I'll get more time to hunt in the local area. Mainz has a pretty good history behind it with lots to find and fields all over the place and it's only 10 minutes away. I'll try to post more

Tim,

Pat and I are always down there in Mainz detecting. He was an old parner of birdman. Let me know when you want to go out. Found some nice hammered down there last time. As you know the weather sucks right now but soon we will be out in force.

Tim that sieve is an amazing find ! I remember when you showed it to me .Wow! Have you been back to the area where you found it yet? Those were good times. Glad the Army life is good to ya so far.You could not have got a better assignment! Please post your loot ,we would enjoy seeing it. Good luck on your weekend hunt and tell Pat hello for me. Maybe I will pull a couple of wheat pennies.LOL

Dang missed out when I was stationed over there back in 83 and84 did'nt MD back then. Good luck and watch out for the WW2 crap.

Tim ,how have the temps been there ? Snowing here right now. I remember that last hunt we had in the freezing rain. It was worth it , frost bite and all. .

 

[lockman209]

interesting find

 

[DFX Tim]

Trent: went out the other day and the temp was a little freaky like always here in Germany. Started off sunny and by the time I got out to the field the shy was black and temp in the 30's. About 20 minutes into it hail started dropping that turned into rainn for the REST of the day. Let's just say that I was one big mud-cicle by the end of the day.

Found a couple modern coins and one french button. Not sure if it was worth going out but it was still better than sitting on my butt at home.

SKI: Yea, Pat was my first detecting partner ever and then I hooked up with Trent through him. You should drop me a msg offline and we can head out. My wife is super cool and lets me go out pretty much when ever I want except for special days.

Ok...

That is a really nice find, love it. Congrats! Looking forward to you sharing more finds, keep us posted. ~HH~

Tim ,one Napoleonic button would be worth it to me . It is kind of amazing how many things you dig there and they become routine. Musket balls ,nazi coins ect. I would love to dig some of that stuff now!!
