Hey Iron Patch, thanks for the pst regarding my old hunting partner Rick Dufour. The 89''ths all came out of a very small lot at the back of a church. Believe it or not, there is another guy down here who has found more 89'ths than Rick did. He too has given away all kinds of them. Rick's passing has left a definite void in the small relic hunting circle of southwestern ontario but a few of his close friends are still hitting his favorite haunts with great success so his legacy lives on.

Mine doesn't compare (in value) to any of yours. But I consider it my best. (Yes, I have dug confederate buttons and 2 nice
plates, when stationed in the States.)
This was found in South Korea, the first year I took my detector to Korea. In fact, this was found the first hunt that I made,
being stationed at Camp Casey, Korea.
Was over the hill from TongDuChon (TDC) above a small village. Was hunting by a rice paddy, a little cleared ground. First
found a small dime-sized Korean silver coin. Then, got a signal. Dug it, and there was a small chain with several items still
hooked to the chain. On the chain was a key, some other item that I have forgotten what it was, and a nice small magnifying
glass......and on the glass was the medic emblem. I had found an item dropped by an American soldier during the Korean War.
That find has stuck in my mind to this day.......wish I could have know it's story.

My older bullets, musket balls, grape shots from old garrison field next to army base. Field was my favourite hunting place. I dug some 1600-s. coins, cavalry rosettes, buttons etc. Minie balls were used by Russian soldiers in Finland when our country belonged to the Russian empire.

The Crusades were a series of military campaigns commonly held religious grounds conducted by much of Latin Christian Europe, in particular, of the Franks in France and the Holy Roman Empire. The cross with the specific aim to restore Christian control of the Holy Land were fought over a period of almost 200 years, between 1095 and 1291. Other campaigns in Spain and Eastern Europe continued until the fifteenth century. The crusades were held mainly against Muslims ...... this is a finding in the 2009 year which appears a medieval crusader knight attacking the battlefield.
