Hey diggers,
I was detecting along an old medieval trail and got a screaming 83 signal (double-tapping). I kicked the leaves aside and re-scanned only to discover the signal had gone with the leaves. Normally this would probably be a bottle cap or some other modern trash but I decided to check it out with the pin pointer just to be safe. Boy am I glad I did! I moved the leaves aside and could see a little black coin on top of the ground. Once I got it home and cleaned it up I discovered it is a hammered copper coin minted in the City of Münster and dates 1600 to 1630! Here's a pic of it as I found it and also a pic of one that is not dug. The back of the coin says Münster Stadt (Münster City).
