Hi all. In this article I want to tell you in detail about my most valuable coins.I want to tell you about the features of these coins, where I found them, how valuable they are and whether it makes sense to collect and collect them.
From the very beginning, I watched a lot of different videos on the Internet.And I realized that this is a very exciting activity.Without hesitation, I ordered my first metal detector and started searching for coins, gold and silver.
This was my first metal detector.This is the most convenient, lightest and simplest but at the same time effective metal detector.It was with this metal detector that I began my search.
If interesting! Here is the link to the very site where my metal detector was purchased.
I looked for the coins and other valuables in the fields, on old roads where sellers used to pass, on beaches by the sea, also where there used to be houses, but today only ruins remain.
I rejoiced at any findings. Starting from an iron stud and ending with precious coins.
The very first find was the most ordinary 5 kopecks issued in 1950. I was at the peak of joy. These emotions are indescribable. I had such a great desire to study numismatics that you can’t even imagine

I also can’t ignore my wonderful little book for storing coins. It is very convenient and compact. The booklet's compartments are large enough and roomy enough for different types of coins. The book itself has a very pleasant feel and is very easy to use. I recommend to everyone. For those interested, here is a link to this book.
In this article I showed and talked about a small part of my coins. I would like to personally recommend numismatics to you as a hobby or as a small income. When you walk around with a metal detector and find jewelry, you both relax and get a lot of positive emotions. And these emotions are indescribable, especially when you find something 5, 10 or even 20 times older than you. That's why I recommend this hobby to everyone. Moreover, this hobby is suitable for both schoolchildren and retirees. The main thing is to look for places, find old maps, look for very old roads where traders used to pass!
