WoW thats a great start. I wished I was into MDing while I was in Germany. Would have been a great opportunity for some very old historic finds.

I got lucky and met birdman before he has to leave here. He's showing me the ropes around here.

Great finds! You and Birdman should detect the base of Frauenburg castle, the low areas closer to the river, a small town was flooded out and destroyed there at the foot of the castle, it flowed down hill. There is an obvious hill top there that over looks the whole valley and river, had to be a guard tower there in the early days and it is easy to get to. Ask Bman about it, he knows where I am talking about, maybe 30 mins from Ktown. I would love to detect it myself but it might be a long time before I get back there as I live and work closer to the East near the Czech border. HH, Mike

Hey misplacedrednek,

Welcome to Tnet, and what great finds you have there. It is great that Birdman is showing you the sites before he leaves there. I just love that 1 Heller

God bless
