Had a great two hours on the field although, the first 30 minutes was dead. Finally hit a small 1835 silver and shortly afterwards an 1851 copper, renewed faith of the field, I needed that! Weather was great for this time of year once again and made my three day weekend. Here’s the finds. Another glass bead but, a newer bead in the shape of a heart beside the white bead I found yesterday. Was hard to get a picture, the heart shaped bead is a light blue and I either applied too much light or not enough.

Some of the relics, an ornate whatsit, a silver plated spoon, a black round ring looking thing with the loop broken off, and old razor, half of a jingle bell and part of a purse clasp.

A few more relics and a blackened ring in the center, the ring could be 9K gold as I can see a goldish color under the patina and it is very hard.

A nice 50 gram scale weight with many quality control stamps, must have been used for many years before it was lost.

And the oldest silver coin of the past few hunts, an 1808 silver 6 Kreuzer coin from King Maxmillian Joseph in good condition. The obverse.

Reverse of the 1808 silver. This was probably my last day hunt for awhile, might get a night hunt in over the next few days but, I’m off on business with work for the next 3 weeks after that into Celtic country. Hope to get some detecting time in while away on business. HH, Mike
