We hit some fields which have been under cultivation until the 1500s. However we didn't found any really old items, but some usual field stuff anyway.

All finds:

After field hunt we hit a local swimming hole. I found some newer coins and one button with flower motif:

Any marks on the thimble and the spoon? I believe the buckle is older than the 19th century.

Yes there are.

The thimble has only Swedish check mark for silver products.

and here are spoon markings. Last marking "I3" means that year of manufacture is 1866.
