Hi Guys, found a very nice Battlefield from the Troops of Napoleon the First. Found a few very nice Napoleonic Buttons i´ve never found before. Please let me know if you have an idea what buttons they exactly are. Especially the one with the writing on. It says something about volontaire.

I also found some Silver coins again. Finally. One Silver Billon Coin from Napoleon the First and a very old german Kreutzer Coin from 1742. Also found a broken Ring that might be old.

Also found a very cool Bronze Ring. I dont know why but it fascinates me...can someone tell me what this is from? Could it be a Rouelle?

And then i found something that i think is a Spear Tip. Can someone please verify that? I am not sure but the shape is so detailed that i dont think that this is just a randomly shaped splitter or so.

Also found a very large handle. I took it with me as i think it might be from a stab weapon but thats just a wild guess again. bye GA

Thanks for sharing! Congrats on your finds, it was a good day :icon_thumleft:
 

Great finds. Good to see you back at it after your traumatic experience with the boar.

Thanks Reednc! I was searching again at the same site it happened the very next day to make sure i get over it pretty quickly. I´m hard to scare away from a good site. ;) bye GA
 

Very nice artillery button. Didn't seen the other button before. Silver is a good find anyways. The iron piece looks like a bomb fragment to me. But where are the bullets??? You have to look around, if it is a battlefield you can dig dozends of them even if it was a small skirmish site.
 

Great finds! I would love to dig a Napoleonic camp or battle site!

Hi Westfront, i did dig a whole lot of them at that site but i usually give them to the landowners because they appreciate them a lot. I already have way too much of em. :)
