Re: My 2026 metal detecting diary
Another sportsfield, still not much to show for... 4.54€ in spendable change, 2 Pfennig (1966) and a Prussian uniform button (1866 - 1918): -
Re: My 2026 metal detecting diary
Another 2 hours at my "usual" park yielded a surprizing number of targets. 1st picture: trash, spendable 2.05€, 0.62 German Mark (still exchangable). 2nd picture: two copper coins from one hole, fused together over the centuries. The large copper is a 1 Pfennig from Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, 1714. The smaller one is a 1… -
Re: My 2026 metal detecting diary
A quick park hunt near my uncle's home. A 1 German Mark from 1979, a lead bag seal from Bremen for "pulverized peanuts", part of a WWII artillery shell driving band, a 1924 A 2 Rentenpfennig and a 1908 A 1 Pfennig. That's a nice result, yesterday I searched two local football field and found buckets full of trash, but not… -
Re: My 2026 metal detecting diary

Re: My 2026 metal detecting diary
I went to one of my local, seemingly hunted out parks to pick up the fresh drops. It went pretty well, first a kid's "trasure" of 5 demonetized German & Spanish coins, then a 1 Reichspfennig coin from 1930 wich I must have overlooked at my past few visits and last but not least a good chunk of spendable coins. 17.43€ in… -
Re: My 2026 metal detecting diary
The weather became quite nice, recently. So over the past few days I did three park hunts, chasing the pocket change lost over the winter. I hunted some grassy areas aswell, they yielded the only old(-ish) finds so far: Over 27€ in change (= 32 Dollars), some German Mark coins (including a 1967 2 Mark coin, wich was… -

18th Century finds are amazing to an American. -
Re: My 2026 metal detecting diary
That 9mm bullet looks very unusual, especially having a concave or hollow base. I wonder if it's from a 9mm air gun or maybe even a 9mm rimfire garden gun. -
