Today i had one hour time to hunt on the cold dutch fields.
Did find some coins, a duit 1746 and a oord 1611.
No silver today but for an hour it's okay.
The other find i dont know what that is? (price cup)
And 2 ......how do you call them?

There is now snow everywhere and the ground is frozen,so no hunts for me these 2 weeks. :detecting:
Greetings from the other side. :waving:

The 2 items I am pretty sure are called thimbles. :congrats: on those nice old coins. Not to shabby for a 1 hour hunt. You'll get some silver next time.

WOW! :wow:

Incredible finds! Are the coins silver? They look like it. And OLD too! It is very difficult to find coins from 1611 and 1749 here in the States, and it's next to impossible here in Illinois!

Congrats on the terrific finds, Willem! :clapping:

Common finds, WOW. It never ceases to amaze me the age of the coins you guys dig up. Congrats.

:pirate: nice we have a good chance at coins a few hundreds of years old -- in Europe they've got good chances of digging up coins a few thousands of years old.....
