Silver coins and relics...

[Bavaria Mike]

I was able to get about 3 hours in today, more fields to detect than I have time for. Hit two fields that have produced over the years and found a few late 1800s coins then went to a new field I just received permission for. The new fields came from a farmer passing by and stopped to ask what I was looking for as I was close to a farm road. After 10 minutes of conversation, he granted me all his fields in the area. Most of the finds here came from the new field and the three silver coins. Here’s the lead, half of a lead horseman that looks like he has an MD on his side, half of a musket ball, appears that there was not enough lead to finish the mold, a musket ball, a spindle whorl and two lead seals.

What looks like the butt end of a hilt from a small dagger, I have found 3 or 5 of these now. A nice pewter button with intact shank, a white glass bead, a clay marble, a small child’s ring and a religious looking ring. I have found several of these type religious rings but not like this one. Anyone know what the symbol is on the face of the ring? I have found crosses, Christ on the cross and even a grail/chalice or cup on this style of ring.

A military map divider or a compass, since I’m not sure, I’ll go with military map divider. It is about 3.5” or 90 cm long.

Got lucky with three silver coins, 1835, 1806 and an 1876. Obverse, dime is for size to show how small some of the silver coins are here.

Reverse of the silver coins. Hope to get back out there for a few hours today. HH, Mike

Once again, nice finds Mike. I like the way you gain permission to hunt the fields. Its always good to be seen doing what we do best and have the home owner say "Come On Over"!
HH and and enjoy the rest of your vacation.

Nice loot again Mike.

I sometimes wonder what it would feel like to dig real treasure like you and the others over there.

Very nice finds.

Thanks all! The ring was IDed and shows a buckle on the face, dates to around 1840ish, I thought the buckle was some kind of symbol to do with religion since the other rings I have found like it all have some kind of religious symbol on them. HH, Mike

Thanks for the update on the ring. I knew you wouldn't give in until you had your answer! HH

I knew it was a buckle (wasn't sure on date) but thought you meant another ring with religous symbols. Wish I had said now

Great finds Mike, as usual, WTG!!!
I like that map divider thingy. Does it still work?, (open up?)
Continued Good luck, & Happy hunting~

Nice stuff Mike. Those coins are small but very cool. If those fields are more than a couple acres you definitely could spend a lot of hours hunting there. Good luck.
