More great finds this weekend...

[Bavaria Mike]

Did about five hours on this field over the weekend, it is a flood zone, stream at the end of the field. I figured there would be a lot of trash but, there was very little trash and many finds.

The surface finds, a few pieces of glass beads, glass button, an intact clay pipe bowl and my first, an odd seal made of glass, and a styles that could have been for writing.

A torso, two religious pendants and five buttons, two of the buttons look to be military.

Learn by my mistake. I found this coin folded in half earlier this week, tried to clean it today and bent it open just for a little peak. Well it let go and I nearly broke it in two. I should have heated it first. It is a 1667 silver coin, OUCH!

Reverse of the 1667 silver, date at the bottom. Sorry about the vague explanations of the finds. HH, Mike

And my puppy dogs, a Husky (Cordie) and a Collie German Shepard mix (Rex), I call them both Hound Dog and they always come, LOL!

How is that DD working? Does it give you a nice solid lock on better than the stock coil or do you have to wiggle back and forth to determine if it's something to dig.

I hunt mostly farm fields and have only used the 10.5" DD so far. I am impressed with its ability to separate close targets and it does well in trashy areas, on the fields I mean. I have not taken the XT70 for a walk in the park yet. HH, Mike
