Bad weather but still found 12 coins...

[Bavaria Mike]

I have not been out all week due to hurricane like weather here in Germany. Today the weather was better, but not much, high winds and a little rain. Thought I would give it a try and it was not bad all bundled up. I detected for about 1.5 hours then my batteries died, I may have a weak battery as all but one still had sufficient voltage and I did not have many hours on the freshly charged batteries. The only spare batteries I had were in my camera, no problem I thought, back to the car, changed batteries, turned on the machine and back to the field. About half way to the spot, the machine turned off, hmmm? Turned it back on and noted low batts then it shutdown again, spare camera batteries were also low. Oh CRUD!!! Still had two spare batteries in the car but, the wind and rain picked up big time and I just took it as a sign, give it up! I had already found 12 coins and few relics. Here’s the field I detected today, I was detecting around that dog leg spot in the middle. Have always thought that spot only looked good and would not give up anything.

The relics. A musket ball, a button and I’m not sure what the other two items are.

Obverse of six coins, the 12 coins date from 1875-1950.

Reverse.

Obverse of the other six coins.

Reverse. Had a nice hunt, I want to say the weather was bad but it was good for January 20th. HH, Mike

I think the item with the four hole attachment is a belt decoration (Tudor ish).

Well done, not sure about the giving up bit & not having spare batteries.

Great finds as usual Mike, WTG!!!
Glad you could get out. Got out myself for a few hour today, after a little over a week of cold, and windy weather, but only found a few regular cents...
I think I would have taken the battery deal as an omen as well, and got out of Dodge...
Good luck, & Happy hunting~
