1 hour together with rain and snow

[Sand]

Could not wait till warmer time_ went out to the field, hoping that local warming on Friday made ground softer. It was rain, darkness and 10cm snow covered the field. Half of signals were skipped because of hardness of the ground, but I was able to dig few shallow of them with my pocket shovel

here are the finds- furniture handle, a button, toy wheel, lead seal and two coins

The smaller coin is dated 1685, 1 coburger heller, and it the oldest German coin I found

Today we have -9 again - end of hunting for ~1 month

Thanks for viewing and HH

to find something from 1685 around here would be astounding.the state of delaware isnt much older than that even though it is one of the original 13 colonies.awesome finds.........i wonder how that furniture handle made itself into that field??

I know the feeling, sometimes I've just got to get out there. I like the Heller.

Any idea on what the seal was actually used for?

Thanks for replies,

Most of lead seals I found here were used for flour or grain at the mills. That one on the pic says "Reserv...." but no any other signs. Let's say_ unknown yet substance was reserved for unknown purpose and stored in unknown volume, sealed up by this seal .
