Wow, what a week! After the 2 18kt rings on Sunday, I searched a old farm field south of Munich on Friday, and then went back on Saturday. I went to the back of a farm field Ive searched a few times after an hour in the from with nothing. Hit the 1713 small silver, an then started hitting the early 1900's 5 and 10 pfennigs (8 and 10 on the Nox). As I was walking out to my car, I got anther 11 signal, as I pulled out 6 inches of the plowed soil, I say the glint of gold, and my heart raced. I picked it up, and it seemed light, so I thought it was aluminum. As I wiped off the 100 years of dirt, I saw that it was indeed GOLD, just hollow. 7 Grams, with no markings, but I'd say it was the European Standard 18kt. I'll test it with my XRF when I go back to the States again.
Went back today and searched for 3 hours today and pulled more 5+ 10s out and another small silver. These all rand out at 10 or below on my Nox in a sea of iron, and I realized that this field must have been hunted years earlier. Many of us remember that in order to discriminate iron you usually lost nickels. These get,an coins are the same 75-25% Copper-nickel alloy as the U.S. nickel (which hits at a solid 13 on the Nox)
I als hit the large Roman? Bronze coin which hit at 27. It was on the edge of the field and probably had not been hit before. I wonder what the original hunters pulled out of this field....
