Congrats on saving them.

Amazing how many idiots are out there. Who throws away money.:tongue3:
 

thanks. i found even 100 euros worth kauhava knife and silver spoon from same plastic bag in metal dumpster.. too many metal detectorists in finland have to go to garbage cans instead.
 

Well , treasure is where you find it - we have our local guy (UnderMiner) who is scoring ridiculously great stuff from dumpsters
and curbside rubbish bins - based on just the finds that he's posted here - I believe he would be wasting his time with a metal
detector . Cheers !
 

What a lovely way to get good things. I enjoy it too. Keep diving

I think he is wasting his time working.
 

This is amazing! It's so fascinating to think what those coins must have seen back in their day, maybe the October revolution, perhaps Lenin himself may have once handled them! Considering how little the younger generations (and some in the older) know about coins and treasure I'm not surprised you found them tossed in a bin. I'm sure if we all knew the actual number of treasures that get chucked to the recyclers on a daily basis we'd all be taking a peek in them :treasurechest::thumbsup:
 

Crusader, have I ever told you my best find, all declared trash by the executor of an estate?.....Joe McDonough
