Leg breaker gives up a few relics...

[Bavaria Mike]

I feel much better today and the cold is gone for the most part. Had a few errands to run and saw a farmer plowing a field where I found a silver hammered coin from 1320ish a few years ago so thought I would hit it. Looked good from the road driving by but it was a leg breaker and plowed very deep. Barely got above freezing today, 35F/1C so I was dressed for the occasion. While I was out and about I noticed a few construction sites, one site has the bottom tore out to the original dirt, it was the draw bridge house of the city built in 1250 that was walled. Another site is a barn tear down beside the old weapons factory from the mid 1600s. Missed opportunity as I do not have time for it. Here

some of the places I've been hunting lately. Thanks for the post and great pics.

If some of you folks have never hunted ground like this, you don't know what you are missing! Walking fields like this will definitely take their toll on your legs and back. Not to mention having to maintain your balance to swing the coil. Then, when you get a signal, your main objective is to recover it without knocking it loose and having it fall between the furrows, never to be seen or heard from again. I have a name for those targets that try to get away from me. But I won't say it here. HH Randy

How the heck do you even walk through that tundra, much less swing a coil through there? You did well to find what you did. That's some extreme detecting!! Ron

Man that is some tough detecting! Congrats on any finds you pull outta that!

The cannon ball is very sweet, Beale.
