Hi friends.
Cold does not go away, but at least there is no ice ...
I went to Sobral and Souter on the beach .. I started hunting.
Already after 20 minutes of hunting my hands were blue - from the cold and the fingers do not move.
I quickly gathered from the shores cane, wood, plastic bottles and made a good fire ...
I obogel hands and decided to go to another place on the beach - hidden from the wind.
Hunting would not be a long 4-5 hours, but there is some result. It is unfortunate that the coins damaged water, but it does not upset me. In the photo number 1 coin is very rare and has a value in any state ... Coin number two is simple - but not often ..

Amazing finds, Serega! |:confused:)
Thank you for the thorough explanations of the ancient coins, it really helps a lot. I find such coins fascinating, but I don't know much about them, we don't have such treasures here in the States.
I'm happy that you are having successful hunts, but don't get frostbite out there! BRRRRRR! :frozen:
Congrats on the incredible finds! <:

Serega, that was a very informative post, thanks. As Tony stated earlier we don't have the wonderful history over here that you manage to dig up. Congrats on the rare N1. How soon before you start to get some warm weather over there?
