Yesterday I went to potato field. I found some nice relics like coins and buttons. Also nice clay pipe :). Best find was old hammered? silver coin with hole in it. It has probably been necklace. I have no idea what coin it is? It might be medieval or viking age anyway :wink:. My oldest coin find ever.

Re: Old silver from field

Also hunted old swimming hole with Artica. Some cash and two old coppers from 1700-1800.

Yes, that would be a good thing to aim for :wink: I believe they are much harder to find over there than in my area, I'm pretty lucky & hope for about 15 this year :icon_thumright:

that's a shame, strange patina for a modern(ish) find, even looks like it had bronze disease. It fool me :-[
