    Finds from many time periods today

    Hello friends,
    Today I spent 3 hours in one corner of a meadow on the side of a big hill. The area I searched for 3 hours was probably 100' x 100'. The grass is starting to get tall and I really had to push my coil down in spots. My buddy Tom and I found 9 Roman coins between us! We each also found a Nazi badge. A few buttons rounded out the day. My big surprise find was a Roman lice comb. My best find was a bucket list medieval beehive thimble. I just love the way the hand-punched dimples spiral around all the way to the top!

    Great finds. I absolutely love that thimble. I have been hoping to find one that was hand made but those are probably too old to find over here unless it was an heirloom.
