I was not posting but it does not mean I was not MDing. Now is the time when many fields have been ploughed and I could visit old spots again. The weather was not very nice for last weeks, so some searchers tuned the process :) and had absolutely dry and comfortable conditions

One of those fields gave up the following_ mostly dated WW2 stuff - all was just lying on the surface.

Another "relic" has date 1935 on the bottom.

Then I finally took metal detector with me and went to the field where I found the only roman coin in this area.
But nothing so old was found.

In detail:
1 heller Saalfeld 1733, coin from Thuringia, situated in 100 km to the north.

Tin bronse button dated 17-18 century

Here is older version - alloy of tin with lead_ 16-17 century.

Small silver bell, although could be rest of button, but small silver loop inside suggests rather bell.

One-side heller from Regensburg, Bavaria, 1791.

Another day near the "Roman" field. This time I was there when it was dark, so I identified finds only by fingers, and this piece looked like another roman coin. But in reality it was just a wheel from old oil lamp :)

Next day brought a mixture of finds from 18th-20th centuries.

This canon is in working state, probably I can use it against some insects.

Silver Kreuzer, 178?, minted by Brandenburg for local area.

To the end - training area of german army before WW1. Usual set of finds,

Nice finds Sand! I did not realize the pewter buttons were so old. HH, Mike
 
Those are some nice finds Sand.

You guys over there have a really wide range of time frame for your finds. Your new stuff is our old stuff here in the states.

What interesting discoveries, Sand!

And the scenery is nice, too!

Thanks for posting pics.

Best

Nice finds Sand and the cannon is neat. :thumbsup:
 
Great variety of finds, congratulations :thumbsup:
 
Nice finds 8)

The silver bell looks to be a hawking bell.
 
Great bag of nice finds Sand....Whats the white portrait of a guy on the top of the first finds photo? Metal?

If I understood the question right way :) - it is my colleague who has plenty of white umbrellas and does not like water falling from above ;D

Sorry, must have been sleeping I guess.... worded everything wrong, got the wrong photo, etc...
Anyway, no the 2nd photo (the first finds photo). Was wondering about the object, top 3rd from the left. Is it a bottle cap or something?
 
very nice mixture of finds like the cannon :thumbsup:

That one with "plus" on it? It is ceramic (porcelain?) pin of "Roter Kreuz" (Red cross)_ dated late 1930s_ part of "Winterhilfswerk" project - such easy in production stuff was sold and money earned used for purposes of army and so on, some kind of "donation"

Well thats a nice 'eyes only' find for sure. The cannon is also very nice, you CAN shoot with it you know...
Pretty funny comment by JerDfx, about new finds here in Europe being old finds there in USA....
Although I am American I have never searched in USA, and I think it would be hard for me. Here all the 19th century stuff goes into the 'extra' box. Funny you know...
