Part I - Metal Detecting at the Swedish Tavern Site, page 27
Finding 1/6 Öre Coins, Russian and Swedish Relics of Different Periods
I went back to where I stopped detecting and back to my "busy railroad of ideas." ...Considering the E-Trac's amazing ability in detecting a coin partially masked by a small iron target, I realized that the "hammered out" sites with the highest concentration of nails would be now the most productive.
That is where the E-Trac would put its full potential into effect. Now I knew where I could test my idea soon - near the railroad but not too close to it! The cultural level within ten meters to the railroad grade was destroyed long time ago... Another quick stop to pick up a coin!
My Coin-Find #7
Obverse of 1666 Halvöring
My quick stop for a coin was prolonged as I received another non-ferrous signal and dug up a bronze signet ring with a broken band, circa early 18th century.
My next relic find was a copper artifact identical to the one I found on our first visit here.
Traces of Silver on Relic's Front
Just like the first one, this artefact was 4cm (1.5") long, initially silver plated, had a rivet at the back and looked like some decorative strap end of an open-work design or a mount for harness. I needed to do some research to ID this find.
