1665 Spanish Silver Cob & 1857 Silver 3 Cent - Great Day in the fields

[GWWJR]

Got my oldest coin for the season today - unintended too.

The Mrs. and I went out for a hunt at an old junky site I found some 20+ years ago. Figured it'd be a perfect spot to set the detectors in coin mode and eke out the goodies. We did plus some indians and other stuff. My wife wanted to walk along the woods to another spot I did well at years ago just so I could show the site to her and what do you know I dug a 1665 cob. My oldest coin for the season and oldest for this spot. Otherwise the site only produced a few musket balls and buttons. We're tired so here are just the best 2 finds. My wife got the killer 3 cent. She came over with it at one point and said "I found this silver coin and cant think of the name of it". So I knew it must be a good one.

I am just confused why you are not posting under Cross Potent anymore? You had a lot of posts going with that account. Hmmmmm. Always enjoy your finds though, Gary.

I do it to throw off some of the local detectorists. In the past I've had a few really good spots stolen by others. It takes a lot of research to tie down places which produce multiple cobs and period relics. But now that I've hammered my latest mega-site, it doesnt matter. There are some neat finds I made under gwdigger too:

Ok, that's cool. I always wondered where GWDigger went. I guess this explains it. You have made some killer finds, Gary.
