:notworthy:

I've been working near a 16th century church and in front of it there is a small football pitch. The first day i arrived at 7 a'clock and i was freezing but i found quickly 15 euro so at 8 a'clock went to work. I was thinking some kind of market was held there or any fair so yesterday finished work at 12 ant began searching. One hour and only 4 euros. Then i had a 71 to 75, usually it is for 1 euros or 10 cents but one after one came this old coins. the most is from 1920 but later i found one with the year 1668. i have to get back there :treasurechest:

WTG Vince, looks like you found a great site to hunt.

I will be mailing the envelope this week.

Ciao Loco, have you find anything lately?
Near this church i've got two signals of big pieces of metal but i'm not sure if its worth to dig them!

I'll be waiting for your envelope.

In bocca al lupo [emoji4]
 

Very nice finds V76! Congrats on finding the old coins.

That old silver in the top picture is really sweet.

Best of luck to you on your hunts!

Best guess that the front field was used as a commons in the day.

And may have served as a farmers market...to a picnic site...games, and what other customary function for church grounds.

Wherever people gather is where you find dropped coins...
 

Get back there!!!!! Slow and did it all!!!! Good luck!!!:icon_thumright:
 

Love all of the finds; especially the silver American dime!

DONT KNOW WHAT YOU GOT BUT SURE S NEEET ....
 

american dime to boot
 

Congratulations on the awesome coin finds!
 

Kids collection maybe?
 

Maybe Cru but now I'm feeling unlucky. The church was built in 16 th century and I found only coins of 20 th century. I tried to search near the walls but there were a lot of ferrous signals there and I think it was because of the little stones they used for draining.

Without being on ploughed land, I don't think the AT Pro will reach deep enough for the 16th C, 18th C maybe.
