Broke into the Medieval period...

[Bavaria Mike]

Finished the house Friday for the most part, still have some small stuff to take care of. What a relief however, my vacation is over as well. Get some pictures later. The last two hunts were both short but I managed a few nice old finds and relics. A military button with an “8” on the obverse. I need to get a German button book if they print one.

Reverse with complete shank and initials A.M.D.

Obverse of a fair condition copper 1 Pfennig coin from 1766. Gave the field owner’s 6 year old son a 1840ish copper and a musket ball I had just found. Got the 1766 in return.

Reverse of the 1766. Looks better overall than the picture does.

An awesome little coin weight with an orb, measures 13mm. Orbs were typically used on coins around the 1530s to early 1600s and into the 1700s. They seem to have been used on coins at different periods.

Broke into Medieval times with this buckle dating from 1350-1450. HH, Mike

[CRUSADER]

Nice weight. Common design on Jettons as well. (not surprising as the copied coins of the time)

 

[diggerfororo]

nice stuff Mike!!!!! The Orb was a favorite design of the Hapsburg Empire of which Germany was a part, at one time. Many of there coins has the double headed Eagle or the Orb, some had both.Here is a small silver with both.
