Fridays night hunt produces seasons second silver ring!

[Paul4x4]

It was my fourth serious hunt for the season, and we headed to a beach with my friend. This time it wasn't any of our usual lake beaches. We drove to a small town near the sea about one hour away, which has history back to the 17th century or so. There was this beach with large park like grassy area with some old trees, and we started working on that area, because almost all good finds come from grass, and not from the sand for some reason...

My first find was a Swedish 1 Öre coin from 1725, and I was like wow, not bad for a beach find So it was obvious there was some old stuff to be found. After that we dug only some trash and Euro coins for an hour. Then my buddy scored the first silver ring, and soon after that a couple Russian coins from 1840's. And I still kept poppin' those Euro coins, and found a ring which turned out to be junque.

Half an hour later I managed to pull a silver ring, finally! And after that I found my first ever 10 Pennies coin from 1865, in a bad shape, but only 247 000 ever minted! Also found my second ever Quarter from 1967, a looong way from home. Everyday find for most of you, but for me it's a keeper.

€13.90 ($18.49) this time. Not bad 8)

Hey Paul!

Congratulations! Glad to see you are back at it!

Now if you found that quarter in Hamina, Tampere or Kotka I may have dropped it back in 1981 or 82.

Wishing you all the best!

Good Luck,
Mark

Thanks!

Nice to hear from you too! It was a looong winter!

You almost had the town correct, Loviisa was the place, and it's right next to Kotka. Did you visit there by any chance?

I had even better luck on my Saturdays hunt, but I have to keep you waiting, because I need to go to garage now, and get some welding done on my buddy's Suzuki Samurai leaf spring to coil spring conversion project... 8)

I guess the team is TPS like it says on the pin. Finnish Hockey league. I'm not really a hockey fan myself though...

What? Are you sure you are Finnish? I'm thinking you could do some serious jail time there for that remark!

Have a great day!

Heheh Luckily it's still legal to have something better to do than watch a bunch of guys on ice, chasing a flat round piece of rubber!
