Today two hour hunt from several spots. Some musketballs and pistol balls and just one coin, 1720 öre in very bad shape. Also strange moon badge. One of the strangest items I have ever dug. :icon_pirat:.

It may be the an identification badge for a military unit, or for the miliraty forces of a noble, in the way of the stafford knot.
 
it looks to me like some sort of Islamic badge/pin...perhaps Turkish or Arabic?

with one end missing. JMO. Nice finds, at any rate!


I can see why you think that. The "bottom" is to sqaured off for that cresant.

Like the finds! HH
