I have been going round and round with my scanner for the last week or so trying to get some pictures up >:(. So far it has bet me. I have emailed to co. that makes it for some troubleshooting help. Maybe I can get it going again If not I will just buy a new one soon. Any way I have had some hunting time in the last week or so. So far I have dug 13 minnie balls,2 French buttons that have been destroyed with plows and fertilizer,two broaches(no gold) ,14 coins oldest being an 1846 (small French coin in rough shape),an 1856 1 krultzer, 1876 half mark(silver) :) only 5th silver coin that I have found here,four 1920 something 50 phennings(Common) , 3 1941 ten phennings (with swastikas) two were in the same hole,one 1940 50 phenning with (Swastika) .I found a Romanian medal from the second Balkan war in 1913. I thought it was German at first then maybe French .I did not know why it would have 1913 on it because the war started in 1914. I found one on the net and it answered all my questions.It is in pretty good shape. I also found a really old axe head,two horse shoes several common lead goods seals and what I have been told is an old tool used for navigation. It has a small hole and place where I was told a small wheel went.It seems pretty old but maybe some one can help with a better ID of it after I get some pics up.It also has some designs on it. I hope to have at least a couple more hours of hunting this week if all goes well. I hope all is well with everyone happy hunting! :)

You tell the story of some very interesting finds, hope to see them soon. The old axe head wouldn't happen to be around 3000 years old would it, LOL? You are in the area for it! Have you tried de-installing the scanner software and re-installing it? That sometimes works. HH and nice finds Bman, Mike
 

Sound's like some Great find's birdman,can't wait to see the pic's...You're going to need your OWN mac flight with all that stuff to get back to the state's...Congrat's and HH!!
 

Sounds like some great finds!! As much as you've found, I don't know how your going to get all your finds home when you come back to the states. I don't know how the rest of the forum would feel about doing it. But I would be glad to pay the freight, so you can bring them home with you. Let me know.
Glad to hear you got out. HH
 

Nice collection of relics! Tsgman
 

We deinstalled the software and reinstalled it but no help. ??? The tech rep at HP gave a couple of things to try so I hope to have some luck soon. :)
 

Sounds like some good finds. Good luck with the scanner. ;)

Bird,

You're in such a rich haven of history. Each couple inches of earth describes the era of time. You seem to be touching many layers with your finds.

Congrats,
