today I went out with my Nox800 to an cornfield which has not yet been ploughed yet.

I finally understood my Nox better and found 5 coins in 3 hours.2 were 1 Reichspfennig 1875 + the other I cannot read the year yet. I broken coin most likely 3rd Reich (the material is lousy) + 1 coin it's copper but will never become readable. But last not least I found a copper coin a little bit bigger than the others and I can barely read IIII Heller and it carries the crest of the city of cologne 1768. I am so happy about this find. It is sitting in olive oil I hope it will turn out better soon. I attaching a photo here I found on the net. It's not my actual find but I hope my coin will turn out as nice.

many thanks for your feedbacks here are the pictures of my original find I doubt it will come out any better as it is already VERY thin and I don't want to take a chance braking it

Congrats.
I'm pretty sure I'm seeing 1769. (I can see the bulbous tail of the 9, the rest of the '8' you see is corrosion)
