It just so happens that I follow on Facebook the pages and communities of various diggers around the world, as well as all the pages of metal detector manufacturers. What could we do without this, otherwise there is nowhere to get information about new products and various interesting finds. I am also subscribed to a small but very cozy community of one manufacturer of analog metal detectors from Bulgaria – DeepTech Metal Detectors . If you're interested, I've added a link to the community.
And periodically looking through the news in my feed, I came across several interesting finds. For us, once citizens of a vast Empire (Russian Empire), finding such coins has long become a habit, but when coins of the Russian Empire are found in different parts of the world, this leads to interesting thoughts – how did they get there? In this case, we have two findings:
1. Dime 1768.
During the time of Catherine the Great, trade in the Russian Empire flourished and our coins jingled in the pockets of foreign ambassadors and merchants constantly. It is possible that they brought them to their home in order to later exchange our coin (still a good piece of silver) for something useful. On the other hand, there were already numismatists at that time, and they were probably interested in collecting coins from other countries.
This dime was found by Aron Cooper, for many diggers he is known under the nickname ziggyjinx and he was popular some time ago for his reviews of metal detectors, link to his channel . (Who cares).
A dime worn out by life was found in England by a DeepTech Vista Gold Gain metal detector.
2. 50 kopecks 1899. 
The Nikolaev coin was also found in England and also with a metal detector from DeepTech Vista Smart, but this is not the main thing. The preservation here is also sad, it is clear that it was raised from fields that have been treated with chemicals for more than one year.
Found by digger Ian Warner. I think that for him it was a completely unusual find, I imagine if I had picked up a coin of some British king of the 15-17th century, which is not impossible, in general!
This is a short excursion into unusual finds in Foggy Albion.
No fluff!
