I’m on vacation, not that it means much as we are redoing the outside of the house. A few more days of hard work and it will be done and I can enjoy some time off. I am still getting out detecting a few hours here and there, have been detecting what I call the beer token field since it has produced around 16 beer tokens. Seems this field may have had a festival in the late 1800s as there have been several mid to late 1800s coins found as well here. This area has produced some of my best finds and there was a farm here from around 1000-1650 AD, many nice relics have also been recovered here including my gold coin. Here’s the house almost ready for the final coat of plaster/stucko, will be a light terracotta/pinkish color when finished.
Some surface finds, blue glass bead, clay bead and a few glass buttons.
A dog tag from 1896.
A belt hook that would have been sewn into the back of a military coat so the belt did not sag and a little ornate piece that looks to be silver.
Found about 15 coins dating from 1858 to 1924, no silver coins.
Obverse of a medallion commemorating the towns 700 year celebration in 1950, the same town will celebrate 1000 years next year. The town had moved from it’s original location in 1250 and no, I am not able to detect the original site, there is a big red X on my permit. A beer token and a religious pendant.
Reverse.
Found this beautiful old ring with a purplish stone intact, metal seems to be bronze. It is crude looking and I thought it was from the 1800s however, did some research on 1800s jewelry and it just seems to be much older, any help would be appreciated.
Front of ring.
Back of ring. I can’t wait till this house is done as it has been 10 years since I started renovating it room by room, project by project, was an old farm house and still is however, will look really nice and it is paid for!!! HH, Mike
