Hello everyone - here is my new story about my recent finds.

It was a really nice, sunny day for metal detection and we decided to check an old hunting place for ducks near our city in Romania. When we arrived there we have found a few WW1 trench holes near the water and tall vegetation. First objects were 3 Russian soldier crosses made from bronze and worn by the soldiers in WW1. Then later we entered in the near forest and we found another 2 Russian relics - 2 10 Kopek silver coins from 1915 used as badges by Russian soldiers. And at the end of the day we found a nice peace ring also near the hunting place.

Thank you all for watching my post, actually I think there are more versions of this cross and some of them are made from silver (found one last year) and even gold (very rare) being minted from 1700's until now, you saw the modern aluminium version.
