Weekend tour and find...UPDATED, relic at 18"...
The area where I work in Germany is culture rich and dates back to the Bronze Age of 3500+ years. I have been detecting here for months and just can not get my coil over anything old so I decided to tour a partially reconstructed Celtic village to get an idea of how they lived. It was an interesting tour, the village has many crafts people recreating commodities of the time with tools and equipment used by the Celts. Here’s the old and the new, in the background is the Altburg Celtic village dating to 170 BC and in the middle is the Schmidtburg Castle dating to 926.
Schmidtburg Castle.
Reconstructed houses at the Celtic village and community fire. The houses were reconstructed based on the holes in a slate area, was also mined for slate.
Some replica tools, spear heads, knives and such made as the Celts did over 2000 years ago by a blacksmith.
I have been detecting areas where the Celts and Romans were for months and finally pulled up something after touring the historic sites. A pendant that I am not sure is religious like so many I have found. Doubt it is older than 200 years.
Reverse of the pendant. HH, Mike
