WW2 Finds in Abisko, Sweden

I flew into Stockholm on June 11, 2016 with one backpack. Granted it is a large backpack, 70 liters to be precise. Within are the possessions I have on this journey that may take a year or more. Of course I brought a metal detector. [update October 11, 2023 -- I was in Europe, away from the United States until October 25, 2019. Arrived back just before COVID hit the world hard, Trump was President and I had to come back home.]

Even though it has now been 40 full days since I left the US I have not done as much metal detecting as I would like. There is a lot to see in all these new places I've visited and usually treasure hunting is not the priority. I know, crazy right? Well the good news is I have had opportunities to detect in some virgin locations and I have made uncovered several decent finds

This blurb in particular is about WW2 era finds I recovered. Notably are the two bronze coins from post WW1, pre WW2 full scale escalation, which were found where there was a WW2 camp at Abisko, Sweden. In the end I donated all war-related and historical finds to the wartime museum located at Abisko Turistation.
