A few relics from yesterday and a castle...

I was on a two day business trip and stopped by the castle ruins of Wallburg for a short break while driving home. The castle, built around 1100, overlooks the Main-Danube River and all the valleys around it. Appears to have had a moat around the castle as well. My imagination always runs wild at these places, having detected around a few castles I can say they are merely mirages and are not worth the time. The fields around them are a different story.

A well that sits just off the castle tower, I wonder what lays at the bottom, looks like it
 
Hey Mike,
Nice relics you have been diggin, has the Hotshot been making these finds for you, and how is it working for you. Also what in the world is a coin weight ?

Gobble Gobble,
Dave
 
The 12" Hot Shot acts just like the standard 9.5, exactley however, it does go a little deeper. Just what I wanted for the fields. It's great on nice flat fields but would be a little large for other areas. A coin weight is a weight that would have weighed a certain type of coin. Back in the old days, people would clip or shave a coin as they were made of gold and silver and the metal could be used somehow elsewhere, of course copper too but those coins didn't get shaved. I'm sure the coin weights were used only on the higher coin denominations, they didn't have $100.00 bills back then that I know of, they had coins worth $100.00 for example and even higher denominations. Hope that's some kind of explainable answer, LOL! HH and happy Tday, Mike
 
A coin weight is kinda like the pens retailers use today to check to see if the money is counterfiet....with coins made of silver & gold , in the olden days ,lets say, a 1 ounce gold coin was worth $100....well a person could shave several "slivers" off , and now the coin only weighs .75 ounces ( about $75) and they would try to pass it off as a $100.:ranting:
then they would take all the "slivers" ,melt them down after "stealing" from a few coins , and wallah!!!:hot: ....He just earned $100 FREE bucks.....LOL
Hope this helped....Happy TurkeyDay
