The past two days I detected near the Officer’s club and the old (Non Commissioned Officer) NCO club on the military post. The weather here in Germany has been just beautiful in the low 50sF, perfect detecting weather and the ground is nice and moist. We even fired up the grill again for lunch at work today. The combined hunts have yielded around $5.00 in clad American coins, 4.00 Euros and today 3 rings. I am not finding any older German Deutsch Mark coinage in these areas and I know a few other people have detected the areas before me that have bragged about finding many American silver coins, seems like they cleaned out the areas but I am finding some leftovers. Here are the finds without the clad, much of the clad dates around 1965, 66, 67 into the early 70s and up. This is some kind of crest, not sure and might not be a military or an American crest. Obverse.

A 1953 Wheat cent and a 1999 One Euro coin, the Euro did not go into effect among 12 countries until 2002 and I do not recall ever seeing a Euro coin dated 1999, I doubt it is rare but will check it out. The only rare Euro coinage I know of is from the Vatican in Italy.

Three rings I found today, the left is a nice 925 silver and the other two are junk rings. HH, Mike

I hate to tell you, but the crest looks like the Phat Farm logo, which is a shoe/clothing company.
