First finds after vacation (with 15 pictures) UPDATED

[Sand]

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 .
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.

Pendant

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.

Thanks for the attention and HH

That's a boat load of relics and coins!

Of course the taler is awesome! Your house must look like a museum!


Congratulations on all the finds and the bath house project too!

Re: First finds after vacation (with 15 pictures !)

Thanks all for responses, just a small addition to the post, here is the bathhouse which they had until August, 19:

And here is almost completed on august, 24:

Upper part of walls were made of ~55 years old bricks from old coal stove in the house, used for food preparation and heating for 50 years. Until now they have no water line there, so on the roof of bathhouse we put some water cask and water comes from well (for summer time). For winter and for russian sauna I plan to set a heater inside, which heat stones. Then one put water on the stones and vapour forms - this is simplified scheme of russian hothouse

Mike - you are right, there many fields ploughed now, I hope to visit some which not near my home, probably should buy a car . That hunt was under the new road was not bad - may be you remember - I found half of ID tag of WW2 prisoner, which is extremely rare, so that some unfair people already offered me up to 200$ for that piece of memory. Still hope to find out the owner by number, but looks like these lists do not exists

Anyway,

HH
