Found my second fish scale coin in the woods! 10 öre 1865.

Went out to the woods with my friend today. Found a lot of tics and horseflies(?) not sure if you have them in the states, they crawl under your hair and are very annoying. It was all worth it when I found this, though! This is a very rare coin to find in Sweden due to its small size and age.

We definitely have our share of ticks and horseflies, but no silver like that little beauty! Congrats!

There is apparently no english word for them. They are called Lipoptena Cervi. Horseflies are apparently something else than what I first thought. In Sweden we call them "moose flies". I typed it wrong :P
