Dear All,
Following a kind suggetion, I'd like to share some of my finds in the Northern Italian mountains, where I live when not gold prospecting in Australia.
Unfortunately I realised that I don't have many photos here with me - plus I have to be sensible with what I post...
Anyway I'd like to start with what is probably the best/most important and valuable coin I ever found:
Hammered Vatican silver coin, Leo X, circa 1515, triple R (RRR) for rarity:
I include the link to another example that sold at auction for 3800 EUR (over AU$6000):

I hope you'll like it, and of course please do post some of your European relic finds too, if you ever detected over there!
