Weekend as usual started on Friday_ so I visited a field quite far away from modern settlements and did not hope to find much there. Here is the result - usual complex of coins buttons and relics.
The soil was probably chemically very active, so that even pewter buttons, normally in perfect state, are corroded. This one as usual dated in the range 1500s-1700s.

This coin was a result of digging the first signal, but it was the last silver this day. 1 kreuzer 1816(?) Württemberg.
Next day on the field with huge amount of bottle caps and Al-foil pieces, extremely tired but found a bit.
Local bavarian 1 kreuzer 1859, 0.166 silver rest is mainly copper_ it explains green colors...
Copper from the same time from Saxony-Meiningen
Numbered button (military), probably from the same time period.
One-side coin, "Regensburger heller", 1765, very small but very known here in Germany. It was originally minted on rectangle blank and then corners were removed with another hammering. However, I am not sure that this technology was still used in 1700s.
Sunday - one of the most visited fields, and, although ploughed, it was almost silent. Only few signals in 1 hour, but absence of metal rubbish!!!
Another silver from Bavaria, dated 1700s, should clean for more exact date.
This copper coin is common find, but this one is in good shape. I am curious why all of this hellers from Frankfurt, which I found before (about 10) were minted in 1821. They were produced in 1814-1825, but only 1821 is available on the our fields
