Message:: [QUOTE="Eduard, post: 369993, member: 8959"]My son and i went out detecting last weekend in an area we had never been to before, a large forest adjacent to a large town. The first 2 hours or so were uneventful, nothing much beyond some WWII zinc coins, totally corroded.Obviously some MD's had been there before us. As my wife was away for the weekend, we took the opportunity to search another area of the forest in the afternoon. It was all a bit dissapointing even there, and my son warned me we were not leaving before finding some silver.....that must have been a premonition or something, because just a few minutes later we hit upon a footpath we had not searched before, and which had that "old"look.  Just a few feet down this path i got a nice signal which of course i dug. A few scoops of earth produced our first older silver in quite some time. It was unbelievable. Just a few feet away, another signal,  this time again silver. Nothing beats that feeling, let me tell you.  That footpath produced a few other finds, including what appears to be a seal, quite crude, with a star of David. It was very deep down about 20 cms.  I have yet to find out more about its origins. A significant relic at any rate. The silver coins  are both Austrian, 10 Kreuzer 1768 and 20 Kreuzer 1783. Unusual to find Austrian coins here. Both are in pretty good shape, not particualrly scarce, but very exciting to find nevertheless. Hope you enjoy seeing these.Regards,Eduard[/QUOTE]
