Finds from this weekend, about 4 hours worth of detecting. Ground was a little frozen Saturday and Sunday was worse, getting beyond the 2” frozen ground was tough. The plowed fields I wanted to detect were frozen solid so I hit a few grass fields. Here’s the finds, a lead horse and soldier, two musket balls with the mold nipples still attached and a small barrel tap.

A lead piece that looks like a saint or someone kneeling in prayer and a partial lead seal that looks like it was in the shape of a heart, I can’t make out the image.

A small 2” figure of Jesus, still has the nails in his hands.

A religious pendant, a 1921 aluminum 50 Pfennig coin and an old looking nut, is threaded through the hole, almost paired up with the small tap I found but the threads are different.

A German military button with a “4” and crossed cannons, probably Prussian from the mid 1800s. Obverse of an 1855 Bavarian copper 1 Pfennig coin and an 1851 Austrian copper 1 Kruezer coin.

Reverse of the button and coins, note the AMD makers mark on the button. HH, Mike
