I mean with the detector on the field

Yes, that piece of the battelfield changed quite a few times for owner.
I found about 9 coins, otherwise tons of handgrenades and that kind of stuff..

Ivan,

i have narrowed it down to 2 possible owners:
E. Graveteau (Edouard-Rémond), chef d'escadron d'artillerie. attribution de la croix de commandeur
( highly decorated with the Commanders cross)
and
M. Graveteau , chef d'escadron , commandant les batteries stationnées en Corse
i have found the announcement of his promotion under the Ministry of war announcements of 1903 in a French newspaper.
( i have been offered a job at the CSI New york, after finding this article in the newspaper, LOL
Cheers,
Ger
