Went out with My friend to our favourite permission where we find lots of copper coins from 1600s-1800s. We never find silver there, though. This time we hunted a part of the field which we had not been on so thoroughly before. I got a solid 67 on My at pro and this stunning old silver popped up. It is My oldest silver coin to date. These are very rare to find in Sweden. Probably because of its small size and age. And that the hobby is very uncommon here. image.jpeg image.jpeg image.png image.png

Sweet recovery, , that 67 signal is a strange one for silver. It could produce pull tabs or even gold
I guess it's small size has something to do with producing a low number. Very nice coin.

Yes. Every site is a virgin ground pretty much. The problem is 100 % of people walking by will come up and ask what you are doing. Hardly anybody understands what the hobby is. Some people in cars circle the field and stares at you for minutes...

It is! Barely 1 gram of silver. Thin and tiny coin :D But oh so awesome.

I think tiny but awesome best describes it! Great find, and thanks for sharing.
