Garrett Ace 250; Minelab Explorer II
After endless speaking about to go for MDing together with my friend we made it today evening and visited the same field which I was posting about in the last post. And today it looked empty at the first hour, we found nothing, and decided to move to ajacent field. But there was only some military staff which has been left there. So we moved again to the first one for the last 15 minutes and it was good action.
Here is overview of my finds.

The only good shaped coin today has nice patina.

When my friend already packed his detector, I decided to dig 2 more signals. Here is the first one - this guy was clever wearing german peak helmet (1.WW) - he survived the agricultural battle_ only helmet lost its peak.

The second signal brought jack-pot - it is only the second my button with lion playing baseball.

And this is not my find but present of my searching colleague - I like it very much being russian but never searched in Russia yet (only beaches).
Huge heavy russian 5 kopecks dated 1763 ß it was absolutely no problems with copper in Russia :)

Found info about the button with lion - it is from uniform of state railways of Bavaria, end of 1800s to early 1900s.

great finds! I found a coin like the one that has a nice pantina. The eagle was a little differen't though. It was recessed into the coin. Mine isn't in as good of shape though :) Cool stuff!!
 

Hi, viper, probably your 1 pfennig was minted before 1890, it had smaller eagle, look picture.

1 pfennig coins with bigger eagle started from 1889, but only 1 coin with big one dated 1889 is known.

For those buttons the areas near railways are good - all three of them I found not far from them.
