Lion, Motorcycle, and coins.

[misplacedrednek]

Hello everyone my name is Matt and I am a detector'holic. Myself and Birdman both got the O.K. from the War Dept. today to go play in the muddy fields around here. We both made some good finds and had a blast even in the 35'ish degree weather. My first signal of the day would prove to be a nice coin.........well, almost. It was a 2 Albus, minus the portion with the date, probably dating to the 1600's by my research. I would later find 2 1921 10 Pfennigs and an 1873 2 Pfennig. I dug a metal tag which turns out to be from a motorcycle company, I don't know if it's still in business though and a lions head made of brass that may be from a uniform. If anyone knows any thing about the lions head please clue me in. Thanks for your time and good luck to everyone.
