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.
From the land of the Bluenose.....nice finds. Dug with a countryman of yours Rumco in the Dominican last year and he showed me the Dutch forum. You bouys find some nice oldies! <;)
:perfect10: Very cool old coins! And the thimbles are great! Have not found a thimble yet. Great hunt! WTG!
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:
Thanks guys.
The coins are copper and the are commen finds.
The dutch site is www.pieppiep.nl

Common finds, WOW. It never ceases to amaze me the age of the coins you guys dig up. Congrats.
Big hello from this side to all you folks over there! Great finds for a short chilly hunt! Closest I've come is a 1736 1/2 Reale(Spanish) in pretty decent shape.Kepp swingin' and you'll find all kinds of goodies this year I'm sure.HH.....Quote:

: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.....
Roman coins are okay but the midival coins i like better. |:cheering:
Wonderful hunt for just an hour. I know that I would brave the cold weather for just one of your finds. :congrats:
