Got about 1.5 hours of quality time in with the XT70 today on a snow covered field.  The snow was really a good thing as it insulated the ground some and digging was easier, it was a balmy 33F/1C and some of the snow had melted off.  Was digging most targets trying to figure out what the detector is saying, a lot of iron and a trashy area of foil pieces.  I learned a lot about the detector but still fumbling with the settings, I have a little more control over the settings than I care for. Made a few interesting finds but that trashy area slowed me down.  Here's the field I detected today, a foggy and gloomy day it was but, no snow or rain.

A few relics, a beat up copper button, a lead seal with "17.0 CITR" stamped on it and a piece of a harmonic reed.

Two buckles, the left buckle looks like a swivel type.

A 1937 copper 1 Pfennig coin and a dog tag from 1895.

An interesting brooch approximately 1"/25cm in diameter.  The pin is missing on the reverse but the fastener is still there.  Has 10 purple colored stones that started falling out as soon as I cleaned off the dirt.  Thought it had been hit by the plow but after cleaning it up I found it was made this way, just a little bent out of shape.  All but the two stones at the opening fell out.  HH, Mike

Vom Bild her würde ich auf Amethyst tippen!

Nein, es handelt sich um Glas.

Glas kann man natürlich meist nicht ausschließen, aber was macht dich sooooo sicher?
Meist ist bei Glas die Kantenrundung stärker oder eine Trübung zu erkennen (je nach Alter und Feldlagerung natürlich......)
Amethyst ist ja auch relativ billig und war früher sehr beliebt als Schmuckstein!

Bei einem Amethyst hätte man die Fassung auch etwas edler ausgeführt

Ist bestimmt glas, danke alle!  MFG, Mike
