Which general part of the states/world? I live in the PNW and I couldn't imagine finding an old skilling up here.

With winter weather back and detecting at a stand still, I thought I would share some finds from one field near my home. We're not sure what stood on this site and nothing shows up on any old maps we have. The 1831 large cent was the first thing we found there back in 2013. Since then it's coughed up more large cents, flat buttons, Indian HPs and my oldest coin to date, an 1808 Swedish skilling just this past fall!! That coin completely amazes me! I sure would like to know if anyone else has ever found one of these as I have never seen one of these on the forum. Needless to say we will be back to that field again this spring, espically after they plow it. Hope everyone enjoys these pics and let's all think spring!!!!!

Amazing!! Yeah you just never know huh........
Jeff and I pulled a slew of largies inexplicably from a field in Jamestown last summer. No maps show any structures there......
Probably a total 9 or 10 in a 100 foot line of a field.......weird.....
