Hello everyone.
This was my only coin find today, 1 Skilling Species 1816.
It is a copper coin, made by Carl XIII, King of Sweden and Norway 1809-1818

Found at a farmers field in Hardanger, Norway.

Yeah thats how it looked when it was lost. I do hope to find some good stuff in the fields so I can get rid of my Fisher F2 and buy Minelab's top model

I should be able to find something nice.. there are tons of graves from viking-, iron- and bronze-age here. The grave sites themselves are protected by law, but the fields surrounding them isn't.
