Today morning I went out to old swimming hole and park around it. I found two old silver coins: Finnish 25 penniä 1916 and Russian 10 copek 1838. I also found silver ring and a pin of TEHY (the Union of Health and Social Care Professionals), which is enamel plated, but has silver markings on backside. So this was really silvered morning.

In the afternoon I went to old harbor site with Mr. Aquila. I found some old coins. The oldest one was Swedish 1/6 öre 1670.

All finds:

Are they debased silver, like billion types? Don't look very silver in the picture :-\
