Popular Post palzynski Posted January 4 Popular Post Share Posted January 4 A few days ago I went to one of my favourite sites ,a field close to a small town where old artefacts ( from 13 to 17th century ) can be found . Probably because there were gardens in the past there . I like this place because it is quiet and the soil is mild and sandy , and of course because of the potential old finds .. As usual I have my trusty D2 with me . I always use the SENSITIVE mode . The only change I have done since the update is to use HIGH SQUARE instead of SQUARE. HSQ works very well in iron infested sites ,this is the reason why I use it especially in this field with old irons ( nails , etc .. ) and modern ones like 1st WW shell fragments . I spent 2 hours there . At the end 4 coins . Only old coins , not even a modern coin ? ... And an old buckle The other targets were mostly 1st WW trash including shrapnells , casings , bullets etc .. It was a nice outing , with a nice weather and nice finds .. Detecting is definitely a great hobby .. A few pics below. Happy New Year to Everyone The field : A double tournois ( 16th century ) : A typical medieval buckle : A broken Nuremberg token : The town center with the Christmas decorations : The 4 coins found during the outing : the 2 on the left from the 14th century , and the 2 on the right from the 16th century 15 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCR Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 That is a very nice place to detect, so much history. I'm glad you are able to recover some of it's past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering you have 10+ or more times the metallic history than exists in the USA (with the exception of native creations using copper), it must be difficult at times to identify finds. Congratulations go to you for saving history! ? More good luck to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lodge Scent Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 That double tournois looks to be in great shape for a 16th century coin! The buckle may be "typical" but it is still a great find. Nice hunt! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
