<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 445614, member: 8959&quot;]I have made some good finds over the last 3 or so weeks. Found an interesting spot which has yielded so far 4 silver coins, the oldest dating to 1792, 1 roman coin, and assorted other bits.&nbsp; The 1792 (unfortunately now at the bank) is a 1/3 Thaler of Prussia mintmark E.</p><p>This coin is at least Extremely Fine. While not rare, it is in exceptional condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other finds:</p><p><br /></p><p>- 3 Kreuzer Sachsen Meiningen 1831 L</p><p>- 1 Gulden Wuerttemberg 1843</p><p>- 1/2 mark 1905 J</p><p>- 2 US Dimes!</p><p>- 2 Pfennig 1873 J</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2 pfennig 1873 J is a VERY rare coin, and whilst not that old, it is exceptional to find one. Only 20,000 minted, rarer than a 1877 cent. Unfortunately through corrosion the edges have crumbled away some, but it is still a wholesome coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also found a roman coin, whch i have had in olive oil for the last 3 weeks and slowly some detail is starting to emerge. Seem late roman. If anybody can identify what type it is, much appreciated. It does not appear to be bronze or copper so not an minor AE. </p><p><br /></p><p>At a depth of 15 cm i found the curved bronze object which can be seen in the picture.</p><p>No idea what it is, but possibly very old.</p><p><br /></p><p>The iron/bronze ball at the bottom could be a small caliber cannon ball??? no idea.</p><p>Also a silver cuff link with intricate design, a silver thimble (i think), and 2 gold plated lockets (nothing inside).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Besides the above i have also about 12 buttons, of all types, and about 2 dozen other coins, some old (around 1800), but unfortunately badly corroded. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope you enjoy looking at these finds.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
