Some interesting finds and a foreign...

Got up this morning and watched some TV with my kids, that’s what they wanted to do. Cartoons are crap these days, what happened to Bugs Bunny, Road Runner and Willie Coyote? Speaking of Willie Coyote, I work on computers made by ACME or at least some parts of them, LOL, really I do! Did a nice lunch with family and In-laws then was reminded of my chores, Argh! Raked up the leaves and apples, drove them off to a compost pile at the end of our land. Toted a bunch of firewood to the basement where the wood burner is, pant, pant! Still had about 2 hours of daylight so off to the field I went. Here are the finds, some buttons, upper left has London Colour on the legend, to the right is a WWII German button and rest are, buttons.

Five coins I found, two are 1876 2 Pfenning coins, a 1936 copper swastika coin, a crusty WWII Zinc coin and a burned up aluminum coin.

Two musket balls, the ball in the middle is a clay marble, half of a blue glass bead and a broken brass harness piece.

Two lead seals, the one on the left is an odd one.

Reverse of the lead seals, the left seal has the initials A.R. in the upper middle. I wonder if it has anything to do with the seal matrix I found yesterday? The seal matrix has the initials R.A. Makes me wonder and it is an odd lead seal.

This is an interesting find, a 1986 Hungarian 20 Forint coin, made of copper nickel. The obverse with a pirate looking kinda guy. I would love to detect in Hungary!

Reverse of the Forint, the date is at the top separated by the emblem.

Here are all the glass beads I have found over the past several months, I have many more but have to dig them out, pun intended, LOL! HH, Mike

Cool finds. I am curious as to the worth of those coins. My grandfather gave me some old german coins and I though I remember looking them up and not finding them to be worth that much - especially for an 1800's silver coin.
