Hello everyone, today I want to show you my latest discoveries with their small story.

In this particular day we tried to do metal detection in a small area on a hill in a forest. Of course being a WW2 zone there were a lot of trenches like small pockets one after another. When we almost reached the top of the hill my metal detector was "screaming" like crazy with signals above 90 (on my AT PRO) and when I started digging I saw something shiny on the ground. It as a beautiful big silver coin 5 crowns from 1909 24g with 90% silver - with Franz Joseph which was the emperor of Austro-Hungarian empire at that time. No further than the first signal appeared another silver coin (I couldn't believe that) this time it was a Romanian silver coin 100 LEI 1932 14 g with 50% silver.
Later in the same day we have found also other objects like:
- one table knife - silver plated
- aluminium box with text MEM on it
Thanks for watching this.

Thank you guys for watching this and I'm really glad that you like the coins. I was surprised to find them in a ww2 trench.

What a huge silver! Congrats! Why not finding old silver in a war trench. I had this happen often. Troops plundered and took valuables with them.

Thanks, you are right, I found coins in trenches before but not like these :D just common brass or aluminium ones.
