Recent finds with pictures...

[Bavaria Mike]

Got into town a little early yesterday where I work and was talking to my neighbor who works for the town. He was telling me they tore out a large section of bushes beside an old Jewish cemetery last week. I wanted to see the old cemetery and detect the area where they tore out the bushes. The bushes were beside the cemetery, not in the cemetery, I don't do cemeteries. Oldest readable headstone date was 1865, several others that are older but I could not make out the words or numbers. Some of the cemetery is maintained but the oldest part is not and is very spooky. I detected the edge of the cemetery where the bushes were, found a square nail and a piece of iron. Walking back to the car I was looking down and saw a coin partly in the dirt, picked it up and it was a 1938 10 Pfennig Swastika coin. Also found a silver coin this weekend. I will try to get pictures up this evening. HH, Mike

Mike, it looks like you made out well on the lead from your neighbor.I have hunted cemeteries,not around the headstones, just the areas that don't have stones and are away from the main parts. It helps to ask the church AND the sextant for permission. You got some nice finds there, I really like the lion button and 50 Pfennig coin, very cool. Ron

but just remember, when hunting around a cemetery, if you find a ring on an old piece of stick, it MIGHT not be an old stick! HH Randy

Nice finds Mike. I like your attitude towards not doing cemetaries.
I dont either, no matter how old they are still someones loved ones.
I caught two blokes digging into some childrens graves in an old one once, the Cops sorted them out.
