The finds from the past two hunts, about 4.5 hours worth of detecting. The weather where I live is still terrible, here is my son and his friend riding my ATV in the 10”-12” deep snow. That was Saturday.
Monday we still had lots of snow however, where I work has different weather. It was a nice day for the end of January 42F/6C. Here’s a field I detected, also detected near a goal on a soccer field, far middle right you can see the goal.
A WWII German barracks I detected Tuesday, used by Americans since the end of WWII. There was a ton of trash here, every sweep of the coil gave 2-3 beeps.
Found the cheap aluminum bracelet and Euro coins at the soccer field, 4 Lincoln pennies and clad dime near the soldier’s barracks and 1924 coin and 1949 tag in the field.
Two army unit crests, one from the field and one from the barracks. I have a collection of these, over 200 American unit crests stationed in Germany, not finds. I’ll check as to what unit these belong to.
Obverse of a German military button with a 12 on it, maybe early to mid 1800s.
Reverse of the button, legend reads “Xaver Birderer in Munchen”.
Corroded side of the German ID (dog) tag found near the soldier’s barracks, I’m going to clean it as it looks like there may be some writing on it. Not sure what the metal is, too heavy for aluminum, may have some zinc in it the way it has corroded.
Reverse of the tag, plain. 2.75”/7CM wide. HH, Mike
Had a nice 2 hr hunt this evening in pleasant weather, 42F, at the military post where I work. Detected around the soldiers barracks. The trash was overwhelming. Found a clad Dime, 4 Lincoln pennies, a military unit crest and a special intact German WWII ID (dog) tag. The tag looks good on one side but the other is very corroded and I think there is some writing on it. Should I clean it? I think I will as I will never know if there is a name on it or not without cleaning it. Pics later, sorry. HH, Mike
