Saturday means for me the same as Friday - I can search a lot of time in the evening - no work at morning next day. This Saturday I used this possibility and detected the field which produced early 1600s silver day before. Here is the result. unusual finds are russian fork from USSR time, massive brass comb which is actually not comb, but rather detail of some machine to produce profiles probably from the wood and lead UFO looking like seal matrix but it is not.

This is part of crotal bell - it has a diameter about 7cm (2,5 inch) and rests of imprints of Christ and coat of arms, but time and farmers were not the best friends of this relic.

Some silver - today not very old. 20pfennig from 1875, not rare, but made of .900 silver.

6 kreuzers dated 1832 and minted not in Bavaria but in Baden - let's say, another german State in the south of Germany.

And another pewter button from 1600s-1800s.

Next day I visited absolutely new field for 1.5 hours. And 90% of it was empty. Other 10% brought me the following stuff - part of local bicycle bell with name "Friedrich Schmidt" from Saint-Georgien, Bayreuth. But I think it is no chance to find him - this name is too usual for germans, may be something like John Smith for US :)

Replying to the unusual coin you found. Its a german coin minted in Karlstuhe Germany Weimar Republic. It is called a wheat head. Its worth about .35 cents at average find. Made of aluminum- Brownse. Just a bit of info for you. Have a great day.

Great finds Sand and congrats on the silver! It is nice to see those 1924 Brass Aluminum coins come out of the ground in such great condition as well. HH, Mike

Wow, your german is better than mine! I am from small city near Nuremberg, i.e. to the north from Munich.
There is salt mine in Salzburg and Mozart lived there - it is what I've heard about it :)

Hi, Mike, actually I was looking through Catalog of German coins and have noted that most of those small "silver" 1 kreuzer coins of German States contain not much silver - from 18.7% to ~35%. Now I understand why they are not so easy to be cleaned...
 
some intresting finds there.
 
Hi Sand, unglaublich, aber Ich haben einen 1924 RentePfennig (5´er) auch für eine woche gefunden. Und in genau solche zustand. Vielleich ligt das an dem metallart ?

Hi Sand, unbelievable, but I also found a 1924 RentePfennig (a 5´er) a week ago. And in the same condition. Maybe it´s got something to do with the type of metal ?
