Hey guys. Today me and my friend went out to a new spot (finally, you might say). This has also been an old dance hall/party place from 1920-1966 ca. We detected a good three hours and just about when we were packing up and going home - I got a signal so high I thought it must be trash. 90-91 on the AT-pro. I dug up a silver quarter from 1935 and was stoked. Kinda shocked and super happy I called my buddy over delighted to tell him - there is still signals in the hole. In an area about 2 foot wide I dug up three more quarters. All "washingtons" from 1934,35,36 and 43. I mean sure this might be common in USA? But digging american silver in the heart of Sweden........... IT DOESN'T HAPPEN! Sure they are not barbers or SLQ's but they're friggin chunky silver coins nonetheless. We are going back next weekend. Did also find a norwegian 1899 5 öre bronze coin.

Nice surprise for sure. Congrats on the silver quarters.
 

Sweden did allow the US to use air bases in their country in 1944-1945 for the liberation of Norway. That's one possible explanation of the quarters, possibly lost by a US soldier there during the late part of WW2
 

That does NOT happen over here either, nice find.

Good luck next week!
 

Who can say ‘no’ to a dollar!?
 

That's a nice coin spill here in the US let alone Sweden!
 

It’s always fun to dig foreign coins, especially when they are silver and come in groups of four lol! Very cool
 

It was such an awesome feeling digging them up. I don't think it is military connected as this is faaar inlands away from Norway or Denmark. Probably a visitor or someone who recently been to US who dropped it. They had quite a few concerts in the area from 1920-1960.
 

Congrats on the nice load of silver! :icon_thumleft:
