Well I made it back from the Netherlands in one piece. Got a chance to do a little metal detecting but not as much as I would have liked. They have such strict laws on metal detecting it is unreal. It is illegal to dig deeper than 14 inches. If you find anything, it must be reported to the local Archeology Committee. They will then inspect the area and decide if it is a significant area. If it is, they take it over and you can't do anything more to the property until they release it. Could be a long time. Consequently, I had a very difficult time hunting anywhere there was private construction going on. There were quite a few houses around where I was staying that were having their basement floors lowered. They were being dug out and exposing soil that contained items from the 16th and 17th century. I kept getting permission to hunt by the contractors and being kicked out by the owners because they were afraid I might find something and they would have to stop work on their house remodel. Not fun. Not much to hunt out of town as all the fields were still in crop. Not having a car didn't help much either.
Well anyway, I found a few things and got to experience a new place to MD. Here are some photos of some items that made their way under my coil.
