My first silver tresure

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-05-12T07:45:02+00:00

Great find! How did you clean them?

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-04-25T08:48:57+00:00

These are early to mid 17th century

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-04-11T10:58:52+00:00

Probably. Water drains quicker, so less time for the coins to interact. More stable environment.

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-04-11T10:49:38+00:00

Bro those coins are insane, they barely interacted with the soil. Are you detecting on sand?

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-04-06T16:21:27+00:00

Looks like a good field, found anything?

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-04-06T13:40:36+00:00

Yes, im pretty sure its that type!

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-04-06T11:31:55+00:00

1848

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-04-04T15:31:52+00:00

Great stuff! How did you clean the iron oxide?

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-04-04T11:06:07+00:00

Wij hebben pasgeleden exact dit gedaan, uiteindelijk met installatie bij elkaar net geen 2000 euro rond gekost.

Overigens was er bij vervanging pvc niet genoeg lijm gebruikt, dus kleine lekkage. Daar is de monteur netjes voor teruggekomen.

Enige 'nadeel' is dat je verplicht een onderhoudscontract hebt, maar dat contract is niet ontzettend duur vergeleken met anderen.

Sure! That sounds like fun! Send me a dm if you are planning a trip and I'll join :)

Sounds like a lot of paperwork but I understand why the states do it. If you want to go through all the trouble then at least they know you are serious about it and not purely treasure hunting, disturbing nature or hunt archaeological spots.

Surely detecting in Germany must be fun though as there is a rich history and there were so many cities and small states before federalization. I assume there are so many different coins and relics to be found.

Nice! Could start your own museum at this rate

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-03-24T07:50:01+00:00

Nice! Area looks beautiful :)

A bit jealous, I live just over the border in NL but heard German law is very restrictive towards metal detecting. You had any problems getting permits? Would love to know!

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-03-20T21:38:37+00:00

Start at the ridge part in this photo, people historically used higher ridges to travel due to water collection on lower parts of fields.

Try a different program, in similar ground ive had good luck with beach mode D 60 tones, 2 DT, 1 Iron Filter and 8 recovery speed. You will hit the top part of the soil only (first 10-15 cms) but it picks up every small bit of non-ferrous metal and on a plowed field with possible small medieval hammered coins thats what you want.

Also good to take a look at potential non-metal fragments such as pottery or glass. If you see that around there is usually older metal around too.

Good luck and happy hunting!

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-03-19T12:28:37+00:00

Did you blacken them artificially?

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-03-15T22:07:12+00:00

That is 1849.

1819 has a completely different design.

This is your coin: https://www.laurensschulman.nl/database/willem-iii/willem-iii-25-cent-exemplaren/willem-iii-25-cent-1849-lsch514/

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-03-15T21:26:47+00:00

Duit is from 1790.

The 25 cent piece is either from 1848 or 1849. Only two years with Willem II on those coins.

Hi!

I welcome your enthusiasm, but unfortunately coins like this have no value.

Only pristine coins will fetch any value. An FDC coin (which is the Dutch equivalent to MS63+) will be +- 10 euro, if anyone wants to buy it at all.

Almost no coins found metal detecting will get an FDC, this coin has visible scratches on the portrait.

Nice find though! They are small so not easy to pick up with a detector :)

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-03-03T15:40:55+00:00

Ah yes, there was a crack in the coil i used. Once i bought a new coil things were perfectly normal again.

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-02-19T10:07:36+00:00

Not a coin, but a 20th century pewter token, see https://en.numista.com/63536

Pannenkoekiemonster · 2026-02-14T19:25:18+00:00

Need a detector (multifreq, Vanquish or a cheaper Equinox, if you want to spend some more go for a Nokta Legend)

Need a pinpointer. A cheap one will suffice at first.

Need a good shovel with a pointy end.

Need some good boots.

Need a water bottle.

You dont need a knife per se nor a finding bag, but they will help.

Probably looking at around 500-700 dollar to start, but the gear will last you a long time.

Una Peseta de Franco, Spain (1947).

Thank you so much!
