    A good hunting day with again some oldies.

    Yesterday hunt and the weather was verry good.
    I had the green light from my wife so on to the fields.
    My finds:
    Duit hollandia 1716.
    Duit overijsel 1639.
    A flint holder from a musket rifle.
    A buckle 1700.
    A pendant pax christi (px) 1850.
    Thimbal or how do you call them.
    Thuder buttons 1600.
    And a little coin: half lion cent.1834.


    http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_dynasty
    Here is some info over the 2small buttons from the thudor period.
    You see the thudor rose on them.
    So the are from 1600 or older.

    I love seeing finds from other countries and Dutch finds are a new one for me. Oh, I did think you posted a duit earlier this year. Those buttons there aren't like anything you can find here, I have a couple plain lead ones but I doubt there that old. The Coins are cool also. All you need now is a couple Blonde Dutch Farm girls and a few of those for a hard days work. Just joking, I know your married. Keep the finds coming we love to see what you have to show us here in the U.S . My Biggest wish is to Metal Detect abroad, maybe England , Ireland or your Country now I see the finds you have. Who knows maybe I'll win the Dutch Lottery rofl
    Again! Good Luck at that spot it looks great !!

    Re: A good hunting day with again some oldies.

    Thanks all.
    Yes the deus is a great machine.
    Specialy on the dutch soil.
    Is good rellic machine.
    Maybe the minelab is better in america but here is the deus the best relic machine.
    We have a lot of big fields so its good that the deus is a light machine.
