1768 silver coin.

[Johncoho]

I had an unusual find today detecting. A 1768 German 1/12 Thaler. Silver smaller than a quarter and larger than a nickel. Crappy signal but heard a high tone very deep. Ended up digging it at close to 10 inches. Never saw one before. Thanks for looking and may your coil get over great finds.

Nice looking coin. Never seen one before. Did it come from a colonial site?

1/12 Thaler, Hannover or Brunswick-Lueneberg-Calenberg-Hannover (it bounced around a lot). There's a more than slight chance it came from the pocket of one of George III's conscripts/slave soldiers - he owned that part of Germany at the time.

It could have come over with a Hessian, but I think more likely with a PA Dutch settler. Nice find!

Trying to get in as much time digging as I can, Tommy. Dug a lot of holes today but this find made it worthwhile.
