For one month I have not visited german fields due to trips to Turkey and Russia (that is another story) and finally I got out to them last week again. Here is the result.

This bakelite medal from WHW series (see my previous posts) was found by eyes on my way to home after work. Mothers day 1935.

Then I took my detector and started from the field which gave up some 19-20 century stuff before_ but was plowed again now. Among other finds is numbered button from WW1 time.

Wertmarke means token with value of 50. Unfortunately not 50 dollars, rather pfennigs (german cents).

Another button made of tin bronse, with the most common motive.

Next evening I spent on the same field- Nothing unusual, but rusty gilt woman watches.

The longest hunt of the week. I used a bicycle to get to the spot, and due to Friday went quite far from home. Some time was killed by rain, and I was very surprised when came home at 1:30 at night. As well as my wife :o.
The container in the upper left corner is lipstick. I have no idea how much time it was in the ground but it still has nearly original smell and some funny color.

Relatively rare bavarian lion button of railroad workers dated end of 1800s to early 1900s.

Unknown yet (probably ZV is zivil verteidigung - means civil defence of german democratic republic - former socialistic part of Germany) emailed pin.
Неопознанный значок с остатками эмали. Будем искать.

The best of the day is this silver 1/48th of Taler from Branswick-Lüneburg dated 1704.

Next day brought symbolic find - silver pendant with hammer and some kind of trowel. Just 1 week before I was in the village in Russia and built bath-house for my mother-in-law and then i fond this pendant.

Bath-house building in progress.

Sunday. After 1.5 hours, digging next routine shell or foil, having no one more or less not rubbish in my pocket and refreshing all known bad words in 3 languages, I decided to stop and went in the direction of my bicycle. On the rim of the field my exp started to scream so that I told me "Ok, but it is the last dig". As a result I got this silver 1 Mark coin dated 1924. Never found before such coin and decided to check area a bit more.

Next signal made me happy. It is only my second seal ring for 3 years of MDing.

Just after that I hear another deep signal which is typical for small pieces of brass and foil_ and for small silver. I have heard it today already manymany times and woud not dig it if I were not found 2 previous things. But this time I dug all. The source of this sound was small silver button:

And the last find in 5 minutes was this WW2 numbered button.

В принципе есть война, но я туда не хожу, там мой дружок пасется, фанат войны, ну я тоже иногда взрыватели или всякое такое нахожу, только не беру, а если беру то сразу сплавляю

Do not know yet. May be it was easy to make them_ and I think it was used for something soft :)

When I posted one on the Whatzit page. Someone thought they were used to Kill Trees. Knock them into the truck & the copper poisons the tree & kills it??

Awesome post Sand! I was in Bayreuth just yesterday, the new street where we detected is finished, I kept thinking about our hunt and the small silver coin I found under the new road. So many fields around the area plowed and looking good. Your finds are great, I really like them especially the 1924 silver coin, that is rare considering the inflation at the time, something like 1 million marks for a loaf of bread. I found a 1924 brass aluminum 10 Pfennig this evening, LOL. That watch winder, I found one a few days ago just like it and Crusader found one in the UK last week. The pendant with trowel looks to be Medieval, very nice. I am curious about the bath house, is that a sauna, toilette or really a bathing house? It is funny that you have a Doctorate degree, have been involved with complicated scientific experiments and you are building a bath house from old used bricks. I commend you! HH, Mike
