Hey, I'm new here. I really enjoy reading viewing the finds on this forum, I think they all are unique. Well I thought I would post my finds from my trip to Lithuania. I found these over my 2 month visit there. It is free to detect there and there are loads of places to visit. The grounds are mostly littered with WW2 relics like bullets, cartridges, I even found helmets. The coins shown date back to 1500s and to the reign of Sigismund II, more about him could be read on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigismund_II_Augustus.
Martin, welcome to the forum. Those coins are awesome! Well done!
The only ones for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the sky.
The coins are exceptional, and most appear to be high grade with regards to wear. If you're going back to Lithuania, I'm more than happy to go along with you!

Hey, thanks for the nice comments. The coins that I dug were mostly 6in deep. I found some newer polish coins too, probably because part of Lithuania was ruled by Poland. It's really intersting to see the history behind these coins, just a thought that knight might held one is incredible. I'll post few more pics of my finds, hope you enjoy these aswell!
