Warm winter, hunting goes on

[I.K.]

Went to the forest today, the sun is up less than 6 hours here in
southern Finland, so I had to hurry before it got too dark. I found
two rifle shells, and piece of iron which I think is a piece of WW2
bomb. Not much finds, but it was nice trip in the woods.

I found same kind of bomb piece earlier this year about 300m distance
from this place. This was bigger and I calculate that the diameter of
bomb has been about 40 cm (15,7") . Here is picture of that.

Here is part of this years finds.

Yes, I hope there is a safety deposit box with million dollars in
Miami waiting for me

Welcome from the UK.

As you say lovely mild winter. I was out today in a t-shirt

That's a nice pocket full of stuff!

What is the piece, 3rd picture, far upper right? I looks like half a sword-drag or bayonet sheath tip?

I think you meant this item.

I am quite sure that it is decoration which has been on knife sheat. Rest of the sheat what was traditionally made from leather was vanished. It was found 18th Century house yard.

is that from the winter war against russia ? I've read stories on how the fins almost defeated russia using superior tactics and around the clock harrasment of their troops . you've got some very nice finds, can you give us a better look at the coins and tell us what they are and what denominations they are as well ?

Yes the bombs are from the war against the Soviet Union. Here is the link where is more information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Helsinki_in_World_War_II
Those coins are not so old that they look, mostly from 1970-1980, but I think one was bit older, I put some photos later.
