I'm glad to hear that you're still visiting Germany. Welcome, and good luck with your finds. Unfortunately, I haven't been detecting for a long time. I'm still renovating and restoring my old house. That takes up most of my time. Let me know when you're coming here, and maybe we can have a beer...

Hello everyone. I've been away for a long time and now want to start looking around the forum again. Maybe someone can remember me. I see that the design has changed and that interesting finds from all over the USA are still being shown. I look forward to seeing more. Best regards / Viele Grüße...

Hello, I'm back in touch after a long time. I had a lot to do with the renovation of our medieval house. I therefore had little time to detect outside. But I have been detecting in the house. I had to dismantle old wood paneling during the renovation of the living room. There was a lot of dust...

Hello, I want to show you a few pictures of my last trip. I happened to be in a beautiful little village in the middle of the forest. You could feel that spring is coming soon. A bit off the beaten track was an old house and I decided to visit it. One door was broken and I could go in. Very sad...

The last few weeks have been very hot here. I have therefore decided to go with the family to the Rhine. There you can swim well. The low water has exposed some artifacts in the area of the beach. My favorite is the French bayonet 1886, but I also found a blackout lamp from Cincinatti.

Such stones are also available here. Often they were inclusions of sandstone that have weathered. But there are also artificially made near prehistoric settlements. According to some sources, they were used as grain mills. http://www.goetterhand.de/001%20Steinloecher.htm

Hi. I was yesterday briefly outside to use the time between the sleet to go hunting. Unfortunately, I did not have much time. But I still found something interesting. I first wondered where the signal disappeared to. Then there was no doubt that it must be in the piece of wood. I was able to...

Encouraged by the US Army button from last year, I searched some older finds complexes and found a few more. Two large Army buttons. On the upper right is the maker: Shield Inc. Attleborough. On the top left is the maker: Rex Product Corp. There was also a big surprise. I always thought the...

Hello, unfortunately there is too much snow here to look for old relics. Therefore I have used the time to restore and conserve some finds of the last years. It is a small pocket or travel pistol with percussion lock. It is only 4 inches long. I found it near a small creek on an old country...

Hi. I have a question that I am quite interested in. Even if it is something personal. I would be interested if you know what country your family is from and when they came to America. Especially related to the migration of the 19th century. So who wants can tell me what his genealogy has revealed.

Hello all. For a long time I found time to go hunting again. The second time this year.:crying01: It is already a bit cold here. But I like it when the fog is still there in the morning and it rains lightly. I use to say "Celtic weather". In fact, I also have the feeling the detector goes...

During the conservation of some finds there was a surprise. A US button! Can you help me with the dating? Must be something between 1917 and today? Pretty rare find in my area. ;) Sorry for the turn. Many greetings

Hello all. I had the idea to publish here a post in which photos of the hunting grounds can be shown. Old farms, fields and trails and other landscapes for example. It would really please me to see some of the landscapes with you in the USA. Also welcome are pictures of historical places and...

Hello all. Yesterday I spent half an hour in the field before the thunderstorm came. In the neighborhood are some old mills and there are ancient paths. These are the coins that I could find. Two (red) pennies from Saxony can be seen above. One 1695 the other 1783. Next to it an unfortunately...

Hello and have a nice sunday. I often read about so-called dandy buttons here. I think this term is really excellent. I will get into the habit of calling special buttons that way because we don't have such a nice name for it. Here are three of me. One even with a red gem (actually glass;))
