First my totals; a barely recognizable "skilling". Possibly 1700's.
A fishing thing. And a "whats it" coin. I think I might have it ID'd as some form of "Öre" from the first half of the 1600's!
Thus my oldest coin so far.

Needless to say, I'm happy!

Awesome. It certainly looks that old. I hope you get your ID on that old coin. Well done.:headbang:
 

pretty cool and pretty good pics, maybe enough there for someone to know what you have
 

Awesome! I would love to break into the 1700's at least, but I would have to travel quite a bit east.......:unhappysmiley:
 

That's a gold star day.
 

Thanks, guys!

The funny part is this is my first year hunting fields and such. I broke into the 1700's one or two months after starting.
Beginners luck, I suppose!:occasion14:
 

Congrats on your finds, and good luck with the ID on your coin. I hope it carries you back to the 1700's.

Nope. It's older; approx 1600-1654.:thumbsup:

If the fields are ploughed then it won't be long until your posting much older.:thumbsup:
 

Excellent find! That's two hundred years older than anything I could find here!
 

NICE! I have to find a field so I can join the club! (Oh yes, and find something IN the field ;) the field!

Pasture. Won't be plowed anytime soon that I know off. And the finds are quite deep, tricky to detect at best!
So I'd sure love if they did plow!
 

Congratualtions on the old copper! :occasion14:
