Cool danish and swedish silver coins!

I keep digging up these awesome small silver coins in the same woods. I do wonder why I find so many danish coins in the middle of Sweden?

Could have been a picnic area, or some kind of scenic area where people used to spend time.

Well done! I found it hard to find silver coins in the Scandinavian countries because they stopped minting them so early. Way to go!

where i live, along the border with Canada it was common, in fact expected to have Canadian coins in your change from any transaction...up until at least the 1980's or early 90's. It could very well be that given the proximity and the common denomination, Swedish and Danish and Norwegian were traded without comment in the same way. Especially older coins with similar silver content.

Yes you are right. Danish and norwegian coins were legal tender here from 1875 to 1920s. But it still amazes me how much danish ans norwegian coins we find in just this spot.. other locations we find maybe 99 % swedish but here it is around 65-70 %

hmm..what was the economic activity in that area during the time period of the coins?
