Struck virgin beach yesterday! -UPDATE- Pics

[Eu_citzen]

Well my hunting buddy and I where out yesterday seeking permission on a few places.
Came home about 16:00 had lunch and then decided we'd hit a beach and apparently it was virgin!
Many coins where 3" or less in depth even jewelry was not deep.
(thank god for hard packed clay that is not deep!)
I got:
10 Öre 1985
25 Öre 1949 (40% silver)
5 Öre 1973
10 Kronor 1991
Jewelry/pendants (Silver)

My hunting buddy got:
1 Krona 1948 (40% Silver)
2 Öre 1959

Sorry no pics, everything is already packed and cleaned.
Here are some pic to give you an idea how they look like:

So all in all a good day.

Thanks, I might get pics later for your pleasure.

I think the jewelry is some cheap stuff, but I'm not 100% on that.

I find beaches are very often virgin here, I have yet to find one thats been hunted. (except by me )

Re: Struck virgin beach yesterday!

Are there many laws pertaining to metal detecting in Sweden? Also, is the hobby criticized in your country like it is in the USA?

You need to permissions both on paper. one is from landowner then from "länsstyrelsen" a "län" is similar to a state but a bit smaller.

Public areas are often not to much of a problem to get an ok on though some historic places are off limits.

Only the media does criticize our hobby and declares us as being plunderers, thief's and criminals.
The situation is not as bad as they claim though I think.

The majorities don't care to much as long as we don't damage the area and make it look horrible.

Congrats on the virgin beaches! I've walked beaches around here for hours & found very little.

Thanks lads, it was very nice indeed.
