Some finds from the past few weeks. Most fields are now planted so I have been detecting around the military post where I work, it was a WWII German military post and has been an American post since WWII. The first picture is a plow part I found for a farmer about two weeks ago, I did not accept a reward however, I did get permission to detect all his fields. Unfortunately there is not much in his fields.
Some of the lead finds. Two musket balls, middle ball is a clay marble and three lead seals.
An area in Neu Bruecke where a rail head was for loading military tanks and equipment onto a train. Everything to the right is now a college campus, not pictured, and there are only a few original buildings that once made a small post, the church is still there if you are familiar with the post. A grounds keeper told me I could not detect here so I showed him my permit and explained the rules, I do not have to ask permission but do have to leave when asked. After he read my permit, he told me where the buildings were and how the site was laid out and said I can detect. I did get the name and number of the Dean in charge of the campus. Nothing but junk here anyway.
A cross, not silver. A misfired bullet, primer dented, powder burned but the bullet did not fire. Two military crests.
An unusual brass casing, maybe an early type blank.
Another view of the unusual casing.
My work colleagues and I think this might be a small Sabot round, an anti tank weapon and I hope it is not made of depleted uranium! It is about the size of a 50. caliber round. I found this about two years ago at a military obstacle course and tossed in my desk drawer.
Several 50. caliber bullets, most are from a strafe I found in a field behind my apartment. I wanted to make a display with them but most of the bullets are incendiary types so I will toss them into an amnesty box on post.
Obverse of a NSDAP Nazi pin and a religious pendant.
Reverse of the pin and pendant.
28 Wheat cents. Earliest looks like a 1928, most are around 1944.
Obverse of a 1841 German silver Kreuzer and a 1919 or 1918 American silver Mercury dime that is very worn.
Reverse of the silver. Also found a big handful of very dirty clad coins. HH, Mike
