Searched a new field today, I didnt belive i would find anything interesting- because this field is close by a road. In the end of the field there is a big stone, and i thougt "That looks like a good spot for sitting down", I went over and swept over the grass with the coil- and then: --PING-PING-- my explorer gave a strong and good signal"" Silver!!" Ahhhh i love the happy happy sound of silver.....

I started to dig, slowly and carefully, but i coudnt find anything- i swept over the dirt again, and there it was: Only 5cm down in the dirt- my first coin from the 1600`s.

A nice little piece of silver from 1677. The coin was pretty beaten up, but i can see the year clearly. ;D
