HI Y'all, I just CANNOT believe it I am pretty Stunned right now We went out digging this morning with no real sites
in mind and spent the first couple hours digging some colonial buckles and civil war items....when we decided to go
back to a spot that we have hit before and hit a couple days ago....First 5 minutes I dug a 1898 V-Nickel which is
pretty cool in its own right.......then I came across a signal hitting about +18 to +20 on the MXT and I was
debating on digging it...but as you know that old addage...DIG EVERYTHING...IT REALLY REALLY applies here
where I live because LOTS of Colonial flat buttons and flower buttons hit in that range.....SO, I popped it out and
out popped this little disc about the size of a Half-Reale....I could read the CAROLVS plan as day on it and we were
debating whether it was copper or silver as it was only hitting in the +40s when I got it out....Anyway, its copper
and its very thin and very old.... I was going to post the stuff I found yesterday which consisted of an 1852
Large Cent, a mystery copper that looks to be 1800s with Hindu writing and a wreath and these other items and I
WAS HAPPY WITH THOSE THINGS!!! Which is why this is UNBELIEVEABLE icing on the cake and after just digging that early
1700s French silver 3 days ago....
Type: 1625-1649 (Charles I) Royal Farthing
Obverse Legend: CAROLV(S) DG MAG BRI (Charles by the grace of God King of Great Britain)
Obverse: Single arched crown over two sceptres
Reverse Legend: FRA ET HIB REX (France and Ireland)
CLEANED
With dirt patina
With oil
Reverse (This back is going to clean up nice, all the detail is there, its just going to take me longer to clean the dirt
buildup off of it as this was the side facing up....It should come off after a couple days in oil
Thanks guys for looking!
