Few Bits And Pieces Of Oldness

[Vldetecting]

Today I went out on a spot I usually go to to metal detect. It's a bit difficult to get to the spot by boat and some walking. The spot is an early 1900's hunting spot and an abandoned field.
So first of by some Stone Walls I found my first ever Lead Back Seal:
Then I walked along some kind of abandoned barn and got an Swedish 5 Öre from 1939:
After that find I walked along where the used to hunt moose and got a mini round ball:
Then I walked the same path and got a coin I never dug before cause they sound like a pull tab, it is an Swedish 1 Öre from 1916:

Don't usually have days when I find good stuff idk why but this time I did


2 hours of detecting.

Is the 1916 made of iron or steel or something?

 

[Vldetecting]

No, it's bronze. Don't know for sure why it has a such low signal. It's a tiny coin, half as small as a penny.

Oh, I see I got them mixed up. I thought the 1916 was the larger one. I guess back around World War I, they changed up the metal used in a lot of the coins over there for the war effort. If I remember correctly, in the last couple years of the war, Sweden produced iron or steel coinage, instead of bronze. Cool stuff, by the way.

 

[Vldetecting]

Yea, your correct. From 1917 to 1919 the, 1,2 & 5 Öre coins where made in Iron and same for the years 1942 - 1950.
