Got in around five hours on the field where I found the gold coin over two hunts, it's a planted corn field now but the corn is only 2" high so it is still a nice field to detect for the next few days.  I have detected this field hard over the past three years and it still gives up the goodies!  Here's the finds, a few relics, not much to look at but I still respect their historical values:

The lead, upper left a more modern spindle whirl followed by 5 musket balls.  Middle left an aluminum seal with an anchor and middle a lead seal with a sheep on it:

A Maltese cross half to do with religion, not a military iron cross.  On the right a bronze Mother's Cross, awarded to Mothers for having 5 or less children during WWII.  It is missing the swastika, I realized what it was and pounded the area around it but couldn't find the swastika.  The reverse is crusty but I can make out 16 December 1938 partially when the award was instituted, A. Hitler's signature is also on the reverse but not visible.  I think if I clean it, it will lose some enameling.

Coins ranging from 1800 to 1938, I placed their better sides up.

While detecting today it started to rain just enough to make it miserable but then this nice 1807 silver 6 Kreuzer popped up from King Maximilian Joseph of Bavaria.  The darker grey areas are actually what remains of the coins original luster, very nice for a farm field.  Obverse:

Reverse of the 1807.  Thanks for looking and HH, Mike
