Still no snow, it is December and no snow here at all. This have been extraordinary fall.

Well lucky for me cause I though that my detecting is done for this year but not. And Im very happy. Maybe I still get a change to go out.
Only problem is that its very rainy and dark outside so you have like couple of hours to hunt if you want see something.

This morning had a lazy start. I was just sitting and drinking my mornig cup of coffee somewhere about 10 am. And of course surfing in net and reading Treasure Net stories. So could not read many post when the itch came to go out and find that treasure.

Clock was something about 11 am or later when I found the spot. It was really dark already out so I knew that i maybe have 2-4 hours to do some digging before it goes totally black in the woods.

Well I found a old lock first, nice, it was in good condition. Well couple of meters from the lock was the key to it :) I was happy, the whole thing and working.

Then it started to pop out some old coins, and there were good condition too. The silver 25 pennia from 1917 is almost perfect condition.

Then hit that silver class ring from year 1999, cant return it cause there is only first name.

Started to get very dark and raining too.

I almost saw nothing when I pulled that silver bracelet up. Man I was happy to see it shine in the pitch black woods. Well here come the pics.

sorry about the quality but it was like really dark.

When the markka was introduced, coins were minted in copper (1, 5 and 10 penniä), silver (25 and 50 penniä, 1 and 2 markkaa) and gold (10 and 20 markkaa). After the First World War, silver and gold issues were ceased and cupro-nickel 25 and 50 penniä and 1 markka coins were introduced in 1921, followed by aluminium-bronze 5, 10 and 20 markkaa between 1928 and 1931. During the Second World War, copper replaced cupro-nickel in the 25 and 50 penniä and 1 markka, followed by an issue of iron 10, 25 and 50 penniä and 1 markka. This period also saw the issue of holed 5 and 10 penniä coins.

All coins below 1 markka had ceased to be produced by 1948. In 1952, a new coinage was introduced, with smaller iron (later nickel plated) 1 and 5 markka coins alongside aluminium-bronze 10, 20 and 50 markka and (from 1956) silver 100 and 200 markka denominations. This coinage continued to be issued until the introduction of the new markka in 1963.

The new markka coinage consisted initially of six denominations: 1 (aluminium), 5 (copper, later aluminium), 10 (aluminium-bronze, later aluminium), 20 and 50 penniä (aluminium-bronze) and 1 markka (silver, later cupro-nickel). From 1972, aluminium-bronze 5 markka were also issued.

Way to go! I love the lock and key!
By the way... can you still use the coins you collect? Not sure how it works with the euro...
