    18th century area.

    Yesterday i went to a 1700 area that is hard to go to.
    Had to walk through the woods to go there.
    The finds are all from that period.
    Find A matrix seal holder without the seal.
    Some buckles,buttons and a pocketwatch key.
    Also a lot off coins .
    Greetings from the green Netherlands.
