It was a beautiful day here for late November, sunny and about 55F/13C. The field I chose to hunt today was plowed a few weeks ago, laid down nicely after plowing and the rain we have had has compressed it, also borders the Death Ally, one of the oldest roads of the town. The field was perfect for detecting. Had a teen girls physical education class come by when I was at the edge of the field, they were Nordic Walking. I thought Oh noooo and I did not see them coming! Their teacher approached me and said the girls would like to know what you are doing? And she did too! So I shut down the detector and explained my hobby, showed them a hand full of finds I had made and gave them a ten minute history lesson of the town. Just so happened I was able to point out a few areas of historical significance to the town from where we were standing, not even their teacher knew the town was founded in 1008 and had moved in 1250AD from its original location, one of the areas I pointed out. Their eyes really lit up when I told them they were walking along one of the oldest roads of the town, Death Ally (Der Todesweg). I have to admit, I really enjoyed the meeting. Their teacher asked if I was American, I said yes and she said, how do you know so much about the town? I said it
