Two hours under snow- updated a little bit.

[Sand]

Despite snow a ground is still not frozen, so I used that possibility_ probably the last one_ and winter will come finally.

Not much stuff today:

Here is closeup of medallion - it is my first religious thing after 1 year hunting in Germany

1 pfennig coins from 1880s-1910s are common here in Bavaria_ but this one is in beautiful state- with nice emerald-colored patina

Thanks for seeing and happy hunting

Your finds are great! You make it sound so easy to find 1800 coins!

On average 1 coin before 1900 in 1 hour. But ground here is very reactive (acid) and kills coins very fast, especially when combined with chemical fertilizers farmers put on the fields

Only silver coins survive quite good, but they are very rare finds. Anyway I like old stuff and every find which is not pulltab is nice.

Here is usual state of such green coin if I remove patina (that is why I try to avoid any cleaning)

another one

Great stuff Sand. I know what you are talking about. This soil loves to eat coins. The good thing is ,coins are fairly easy to find

Excellent!

What is the object at the far right? Looks like it could be a hammered coin?

It's 63? F and sunny here- I wish I were out detecting. Might go tomorrow.

It is lead seal with "Rentamt; dichte ...ls" on it. It means something like "Pension department; impermeable ..."
