You have no idea I had to check it so many times, I had only little bit dirt in my hand and something was still giving signal, I was going to give up but luckily I didn't!

Even we Finnish people have some history with Russia, these coins are not so common finds here, especially on West Coast of Finland where I do metal detecting. These are very interesting coins and this is absolutely one of my best finds. Here is quite good link about the Russian wire money if you are interested to read more: Russian wire money
