The weather was beautiful and sunny all weekend in the 50sF/10C. Detected about 8 hours, mostly on this field below where I have found my oldest coins. Did not find any silver, the XLT sucked it all up but left several other relics, many targets were masked by iron and it is amazing how well the XT70 separates close targets with the 10.5” DD coil.

Detected a plowed field for about one hour, did not see this sign until I was leaving. “Danger of Rabies and Band Worms, enter at your own risk”, now you tell me!

Most of the trash from about 3 hours Sunday.

A few relics, harness ring, religious pendant, broken thimble and a brooch that was gold plated. This is the 4th brooch like this I have found, I wonder if it was part of a military uniform?

More relics, a lead deer head, oil lamp wick base, someone’s bust, two musket balls and a small primer.

A large pendant with a date on the reverse of 1891. Need to research it.

Reverse of the pendant, date of 1891 at the 02:00 position. Lion sitting facing right holding Bavarian coat of arms.

Obverse of a large military pendant from the 14th Infantry, appears to have been silver plated. Legend reads from 09:00 to 03:00, 14.INF.REG.HARTMANN, bottom legend NURNBERG 1914.

Reverse of the 14th Infantry pendant, 10:00 is 1814 and 02:00 is 1914, bottom a 14. Initials JR center but I’m not sure if it is a J. For all of you that are snowed in, do not eat the yellow snow, LOL! HH, Mike

Awsome collection of relics ,Mike congrats.

tinpan :o :o :o
 

Very nice Mike,,, WTG!!!
I like those old pendants, and the button too...
When I first saw the sign, I thought, " Beware of wolves"... I didn't even notice the hole it's it side. Not sure what a band worm is, but I think I'd rather tackle the wolves...
Continued Good luck, & Happy hunting~
 

BM,

nice group of artifacts.

"Rabies and Band Worms." :-\

have a good un..................
 

Wow Mike, you really found some cool relics there.
I know this isn't going to come out right, but I like the "someones bust" the best. ;)
Congrats.
-MM-
 

Geezz, what dangers detectorist face out there in the dirt. I take it band worms are dangerous to humans, maybe like the round worm or tape worm. Just be sure to wash your hands well and don't touch any important body parts before you do.

What a haul though, awesome, I'd fight the rabies and worms too!
 

Cool finds Bavaria Mike. Boca Raton resort and club, huh? That must of been one hell of a slice. ;D
 

Awesome finds in the danger zone!!!!!

It's a fox - not a wolf on the sign, right?
 

Thanks for the nice comments all! A Band Worm would be a Tape Worm, I have been in Germany for a long time and it sounded right, LOL. I have been wearing gloves even in the heat of summer to dig with for the last 2 years and yes I do wash very good afterwards, I still take them off though to examine a find, probably should update the Tetinus shot as well as I am coming up on 10 years since the last. As of Saturday I am the official carrier of the common cold, I will do my duty and carry it for about 5-7 days and pass it on, I will not quit my post until properly relieved and know that someone else has taken the responsibility of passing the common cold along. HH, Mike
 

:D I did read that sign before I read what you wrote. lol (I speak German fluently)
Thats a nice bunch of relics and other nice/cool stuff.
Glück wunsch! ;)
 

Great relics and pics. Thanks for taking us along.

Be careful so you don't get bit by rabid worms :D ;D
