<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 371174, member: 8959&quot;]Well Toad, you certainly do have an imagination! but you are absolutely right, i often think and try to imagine how those things were lost which i find.&nbsp; Those two silver coins were probaly lost around 1800:&nbsp; a hunter, a rider out on a leasure ride thru the woods, who knows.&nbsp; What intrigues me more is that object which appears to be a seal with the start of David. Judging from the depth, i date it around 1700-1750 (very roughly). The city&nbsp; nearby is well known for always having had a large jewish population, so it is very reasonable it belonged to a jewish Rabbi or merchant?&nbsp; again, who knows.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been very fortunate with my finds, in spite of the fact i do not put a lot of research behind it. I see a forest that i like, and off i go with my detector. Most of the time i find nothing or almost nothing (like this afternoon), a few times i find coins and objects dating from 1800-1900, and every now and then some roman (mostly totally corroded As or dupondii), or middle ages (rare). And then, even more rare, about once every 6-8 years a gold coin.&nbsp; It is a fascinating hobby! </p><p>How about yourself ? Ever thought about detecting?&nbsp; it is cheaper to find&nbsp; them coins, than to buy then!&nbsp; it just takes longer (a lot longer!)</p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
