Detected for about 6 hours this weekend. Saturday it rained all day, detected a grassy field with rain gear on. Today was cold and cloudy, the sun popped out on occasion. Detected this field near two old beer cellars, Hitler had a parade here and stood above the left cellar, the field was a little bit rough plowed. Here’s the field with beer cellars to the left and right of the road.

Some of the relics I found, two broken crosses, an old religious pendant and a ring with a blue stone.

A French military button with the number 74 on it, says Paris on the back and it has a nice birdcage loop on the reverse. Two lead seals, the smaller seal has something like “baumunzamt kasse” around the legend, literally translated “building coin bureau cash desk”, I don’t think is correct. Found many other relics, more buttons, two broken thimbles, musket balls, 6 coins and few other things, just don’t have time to process the pictures.

Obverse of a 1752 silver coin from king Maximilian Joseph III, very small in size.

Reverse of the silver, the date is at the bottom divided by an arrow looking symbol, the 2 is easiest to see. HH, Mike
