Surprisingly I did not recover any remains of the medieval cold steel weapons, and dug up only three musketballs of the modern times.

Whether I had a great coin shooting "foray" or an amazing relic hunt, in any case, my metal detecting in Karelia resulted in a fantastic relic discovery and accumulation of nice finds.
