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!

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

Wow Mike, it looks sweet there. I see a light at the end of the tunnel here. 1.5ft+ of snow has begun the official melt as of about noon today. ;D

Great finds as usual. I wouldn't worry about the rabies/worms....it's just a liability thing. ;) :D
