One thing I like about Free Republic is the variety of the posts. You can learn a little bit about everything here.
Thanks for your archaeology-related posts. They are appreciated.

Perhaps hidden during the communist era and maybe whoever did it died and failed to tell anyone.

Probably brought back by some German immigrant and hoarded before being stashed during the fighting in 1945.
From what I recall, the Wehrmacht was ready to surrender Stettin but the SS and Hitler Youth attacked the Soviets after a truce had been agreed. This led to the Soviets giving the city over to a few days of raping and pillaging when the city was finally taken.

Probably.
Lots of European men would travel to the US, work for a few years then go home, buy a farm and marry the girl next door.

Detectionists find gold coins near WW2 battle scene.
Cool.
Usually, they discover thousands of pounds of un-exploded ordnance.

And not in a good way, at times. :^) One of my old teachers did cold war intel work in Europe (nothing too lofty) and he and his buds had their favorite bars. Their usual place was owned by a former German soldier who described his experience trying to dig a basement. The backhoe brought up an unexploded bomb. Uh, he shut down the machine and called the bomb squad. Oh, and kissed his backhoe goodbye. :^)

Or couldn't recover the loot for another reason. The Reich and the USSR made a joint operation in the dismemberment of Poland.

Perhaps it was pay for the American troops fighting in Russia against the reds back in 1920. They did pay in cash back then.

No the Soviets raped and pillaged the civilian population as a general rule. They were utter ruthless in their treatment of German civilians.
