So today I went to the same place as I've done in almost a month for a one and a half hour hunt. I walked and only found a couple of bullet casings from the early 1900's until I got another bullet casing signal and got a very nice silver coin! A 50 Öre from 1957 (40% Silver). It is quite uncommon for detectorist's to find this coin cause they only minted a million of them each year. The 1 Krona (= two 50 Öre in value) was minted up to 10 million each year in the 50's so you can imagine that not many people walked around with this coin in their pockets. So of course this was a bucket lister for me:

After that find only found trash. It was funny cause I also dug a hole that had one nail and one hammer in it. It almost went another hour without any finds so I went on the other side of the location on a small open area. There was a lot of iron there and the first signal I dug was an broken old harmonica reed:

I went a little bit further and found the mystery item of the day, If you recognize it please let me know. It's made of brass/bronze and weighs 16 gram. It looks like a harmonica reed but it's too thick and dosen't have the shape of it:

Then I walked along the small creek besides this place and found a tiny buckle:

Thank you for reading and happy hunting!

nice finds there
 

Awesome finds!!!Great looking silver piece
 

Glad you got a nice looking coin for the collection.

I did some research & this site states that in the 1950s the mintage varied from 1.1M to 7M & the 1957 is 2,404,700

So I'm not sure where the 1M figure comes from?

Sorry if I was a bit incorrect. I was also thinking about the 1940's 50 öres which was minted around 1 million each year. In 1957 it was 2.5 million and the other years was around 5 million. I think I thought to fast while writing.
 

Very nice coin and relics! Congrats! :thumbsup:

That's OK, I didn't think you were lying, I was just interested, so did some digging about.:thumbsup:
