During that time period Spanish and American sliver was the main currency of what is now Canada. Spanish silver was the world standard for 300 years.

Здраво, by the way and welcome to the site, i have uncles from Bosnia among other places. I get the feeling that former Yugoslavia is fairly over looked but ripe for metal detecting...is that true? The crossroads of history intersect there a lot!

I have seen pics from Bosnia and you are correct detecting is taking off there now, hope we see some nice stories and posts.....Bonz

You are right Spanish currency was one of the main forms of specie around that time....Bonz
