Metal Detecting Medieval Sites - Time To See the King (Story 3)
The coin seemed to be similar to the previous one.
1624 6 Groschen
The Date
I found one more silver coin within next 20 minutes.
1624 3 Poltorak
By that moment, the sun made my detector's display black so I decided to give it some rest.
I myself was exhausted from the heat and excitement - five valuable silver coins were recovered from one spot, a "silver triangle"! First I thought that the coins represented a so-called "coin spread" - an indicator of a coin cache buried underneath (read my article on Recovery of A Coin Cache in the Field).
But that was not the case this time because all the coins I found were at the same depth, no coins were present either on the surface or deeper in the ground. I depleted the entire "silver triangle" of coins and, while searching the area along the perimeter outside the triangle, found nothing but a recently dug hole - that was where I recovered a gold medallion the night before! It was funny to realize that I had already visited this "hot" spot before actually discovering it.
