Just recently moved to my new house a couple months ago, it was built in 1910, detected my front yard right after I moved and didn't find much, finally decided to check my small backyard and BAM! It's 1874 c. 10 mark, I guess it's German, my first gold anything and on my own property. Wander if who lost it moved from there.

thanks, let me know if you ever head this way

Be careful what you ask for! I am very mobile, and you are only 5 hours away.

Best of luck.

Do you know if you anyone of German/Prussian lived on your property during the 1800's?
