I don't even know where to begin! My buddy Phil and I got back onto the field where I've been hunting for the past month. It's a generational site and today certainly proved that! We started in a new area and Phil almost immediately found a piece to a sword guard. A couple minutes later he found another part of the guard. I commented to him that there is probably more and that I was going to find the pommel...and sure enough 3 feet from the other pieces I found the pommel! I am very pleased with that as it's a relic I've always wanted to find!

We decide to fan out looking for more and a couple minutes later I have old silver in the hole! It's a 1676 French 4 Sol! This is actually the second 1676 4 Sol I've found.

Found a lot of lead including a couple ingots and hogue cylindrical piece. Think they were making buttons at this site.

Near the end of the day we start making our way back to the car and within 30 feet I get a nice high silver tone. I pop the plug and there it is...big American silver! This is extremely rare in my area (Nova Scotia) and I could not believe the date! Amazing condition as well!!!

Thats the way it rolls,,,,sometimes...

Very nice coins, big congrats
 

Wow what an incredible hunt you had. Congrats on some beautiful finds. Not often you see something come out of the hole in that condition! Great job!
 

WOW I think they would have to send a rescue team out to find me if I found a beautiful half like that......because I would surely have heart failure and drop on the spot!
 

Does the half dollar have a normal edge, or one of the 2 experimental edges?
 

Great hunt, congrats on the silvers that are in such nice shape.
