A few finds and a brewery...

[Bavaria Mike]

I have done several short hunts over the past few weeks and have over 200 keepers, over 40 musket balls from one field, lead seals, buttons, coins from the mid 1800s to early 1900s, a few buckles and other relics. Oldest coin readable is an 1834 copper and one 1924 silver .500 coin. Unfortunately, I do not have time to post all the finds but here are a few pictures. Three pictures from a hotel that is also a brewery I stayed at this week. The door was open so I took the self guided tour. Two massive copper beer vats brewing some good beer. Thought about tapping the first vat but I had a fresh brew in hand, the tap was easily accessible, LOL.

A nice cross I cleaned up with wooden inlay from the 1800s, looks like it may have had an image of Jesus attached. Very nice for a farm field find.

I thought this was a button but maybe not, no way to attach it and the reverse is nice and clean like the obverse is. Not sure if it is WWI or WWII, on the helmet it reads

Very cool! I really like the helmet! Gotta like a brewery, Beale.
