today I went out with my Nox800 to an cornfield which has not yet been ploughed yet.

I finally understood my Nox better and found 5 coins in 3 hours.2 were 1 Reichspfennig 1875 + the other I cannot read the year yet. I broken coin most likely 3rd Reich (the material is lousy) + 1 coin it's copper but will never become readable. But last not least I found a copper coin a little bit bigger than the others and I can barely read IIII Heller and it carries the crest of the city of cologne 1768. I am so happy about this find. It is sitting in olive oil I hope it will turn out better soon. I attaching a photo here I found on the net. It's not my actual find but I hope my coin will turn out as nice.

Cool find! :icon_thumleft:
 

Congrats on a personal best. The bar is now higher. GL out there.
 

many thanks for your feedbacks here are the pictures of my original find I doubt it will come out any better as it is already VERY thin and I don't want to take a chance braking it

Congrats.
I'm pretty sure I'm seeing 1769. (I can see the bulbous tail of the 9, the rest of the '8' you see is corrosion)
 

Freaking amazing that's a museum piece
 

That’s an amazing find and can still see the date. Congrats
