I'm out of titles.
Had to get a permission on this. Called 5 different people before i found the owner. Didn't have much time before it got dark but found a decent amount of things. Almost no trash.
Still looks like summer but the temps don't exceed 10°C anymore. Just perfect if you ask me.
10 minutes into the hunt, things were looking very good.
2 hours later:
Just did a random zigzag across the field and this silver buckle came out in the middle. It has 3 hallmarks, all of which are more or less unreadable.
The one on the left is a "proof mark". 1 or 3 crowns, can't tell. The one on the right is a date mark. It's supposed to be a letter or a combination of a letter and a number. This one looks like it's only a letter.
This is the jeweler's mark. Could be CAH = Carl Abraham Hårdh, 1828-1867, Raahe. It would then have to be 1828-1833 since the date mark is a single digit.
Here are the coins cleaned up. Very basic coins but i id'd them in case someone wants to know.
From left to right:
1960's "penni" These were often given for children to play with. They are everywhere.
5 markkaa 1940.
1 kopek serebrom 1840. This was the year when swedish currency became obsolete in Finland. Lots of russian money was brought in as replacement. It was the only legal currency till Markka was introduced in 1860's.
1/4 skilling early 1800's. Last type of swedish currency used in Finland.
1 öre early 1700's. Nearly worthless at the time. Very common.
1 daler 1715 Same as above but was only minted in 1715. Had a nominal value hundreds of times greater than what the material it was made of was actually worth. An actual copper daler could've weighed up to 40lbs. Yes, there were coins that large at one time. These fit in your pocket a bit better.
Now that's a coin.
1/6 öre 1676. Hmm.. Just a coin. You could've bought an egg with 2 of these.
1/6 öre 1683
1/6 öre 1666-1686.
