Searches were tasked with finding relics of World War II, in particular, the battles of the city that took place between the Soviet Red Army and the Wehrmacht. Before the war, the Wehrmacht made Szczecin with his headquarters. At that time, the Poles amounted to less than 1% of the city's residents, and they were and persecuted under the Nazi regime.
In 1944, intensive battles and allies of the Allies caused chaos, destroying 65% of Szczecin structures, including city center and industry. The Soviet troops eventually seized the city in 1945, forcing the majority of residents to leave their homes. Now the Szczecin searchmen have made an interesting find: at a depth of 15-20 cm, they found a cut metal cans containing 70 coins. The total cost of this find is estimated at about 100,000 zlotys, which is equivalent to more than $ 24,000.
During the preliminary inspection, experts identified the two-headed eagle of freedom, the twenty-dollar gold coin of the late 1800s-early 1900s. This coin, designed by James B. Longakrom, has the inscription "In God We Trust" ("We believe in God") and was in circulation between 1877 and 1907. In addition, they found ten-dollar gold coins depicting an Indian eagle, dated 1912, whose designer was August Saint-Hoods, and who were in circulation from 1907 to 1933.
