Weekend hunt gives up a few nice coins and relics...

[Bavaria Mike]

Finds from a hunt on Saturday and a few finds from another hunt last Thursday. I did another medieval parade/festival Sunday dressed as a medieval soldier, it was a good time and I like my sword a lot, LOL. We did a U-turn at one point and I got to see the whole parade go by. This is my 6th medieval parade/festival I took part in and have never been able to see the parade since I was in it. Many of the participants wear and use authentic replicas and sometimes display antiques of old. Here’s the finds, a few surface finds, clay marble and a cat eye marble.

A pendant from Madeleine Paris, a church dedicated to Napoleon in the mid 1700s, may be from a rosary necklace. A buckle from 1650-1800 found where the original town was to have stood from 1008-1250 of 5 buildings. Archies used a magnetometer here in spring and reported that no structures were ever here. I also got harassed by two Archie students, they are doing a dig in the area, had answers to all their questions and even more than they wanted to hear, LOL, I’m legal!

Three rings, the middle ring has a “W” on it.

A nice condition 1921 zinc coin found at the ghost town I detected last week and an 1800-1851 copper that is very worn.

One of my favorite finds, a beer token good for 1 liter of beer and some kind of tag. The tag looks like it was a type of bag seal maybe, I have found a few similar but not many, maybe imported from some where, any help out there?

A swastika pin made of zinc, zinc does not do well in the dirt. A date is below the swastika, 1937 or 1939.

Reverse of the swastika pin, pin is intact, rare for me!

Four small silver coins, from the left, an 1858 and my best from these coins as it still retains the shiny luster, a 17””, 1806 and an 1835ish.

Reverse of the silver coins, not really the reverse but the other side. HH, Mike

Very nice finds! The tag, nothing on the back side?

 

[Bavaria Mike]

The tag was IDed as an early paint tag, 1800s. Nothing on the reverse but the front marks that stamped through. HH, Mike

Mike,
Great variety of digs. That beer token has to be my fave.
Nice finds,

Cool stuff. It's funny how we find beer tokens in the States too. The only difference is the language and spellings. This isn't anything profound, just an observation...
