3 hours on the military post...

[Bavaria Mike]

We still have 6” of snow and frozen so I went south to the army post where I work. Found a place between buildings that was thawed for the most part. Dug this 1911 French 10 Centime coin and a Prussian military button from the late 1800s to early 1900s. Then I went to where the youth center used to be, it is still fenced in but they had the gates open. I thought this was going to be a clad mine but only dug 1 quarter, 5 dimes and 6 pennies, none were wheats and a 50 Eurocent coin. Most of that field was frozen and the targets were hit and miss as to digging them. Obverse of the French coin and Prussian button.

Reverse. Detected for around 3 hours and was great to be out. HH, Mike

Nice finds Mike. It's been warm here until I got home today after being gone 6 weeks. Now it's only in the 20's.

Are you stationed in Germany? I was there in the late 60's, in Baumholder. That would be an awesome place to hunt. Several old German rock barracks, and many parade/practice fields, dating back to the early 1900's. Have you gone THing in any other country other than Germany? If you are in Bavaria, then Switzerland isn't too far away. Might be some interesting sites along some of the old hiking paths. Good luck.
