Hey Diggers,
I was able to get in about 3 hours of detecting this morning so I headed to the Medieval woods where I have done so well lately. Not a lot of signals but I did get a few coins and musket balls. Big surprise was a giant Roman coin only 4 inches deep! It has a very fragile patina so I only cleaned it enough to see the details and then stopped. I don't yet have an ID on it and the back is pretty much worn smooth. I also found a flint pad to a flintlock rifle (too bad the flint was missing). You can still see the marks where it was tightened into the cock! I also found a silver coin--a very nice looking 1840 6 Kreuzer from the German State of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt. Here's some pics. Thanks for looking and happy hunting to everyone. Dave.
