1792 French silver!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[birdman]

Well I have been detecting on and off since I was a kid. I bought my CZ in Feb. and started hunting again. I had never found a 1700s coin until today. There was a French and Prussian battle here in 1794. The coin is about the size of a half dollar. Today of all days,it was extremely muddy because of the melting snow. It was a great way to close out the year. I also found two minies and a Nazi coin and an old button.If I turn the button at an angle I can barely see a 5.If it was not for the snow knocking down the grass, I would not have hunted this area so I am going to try and quit complaining about the weather. Any info on the silver coin would be great. Thanks ,happy New Year and Happy Hunting!!

Congratulations Bird man, what a great way to end the year. My goal for 2006 is a 1700,s coin. I saw 7 found with my club last year so the odds are there. After this post i will never let a little fowl weather stop me (45 degrees an raining, windy). Now the challenge is to keep hunting in 2006! Wish health and luck to all!

WTG on that coin find! Nice buttons and relics also.
Were you using the ID Excel? HH!

 

[birdman]

Ground Fisher, My ID Excel has a glitch right now. It is a great detector but I think there is a problem with the first models getting moisture in side the control panel.They say Fisher has fixed the problem now. I was using my CZ5. The whole box is covered with mud right now. Got to clean it up soon. HH

Wow! What a great coin.

While it is nice to know the value other people place on a coin like that, I don't think I could ever part with it.

You are certainly making the most of your time in Europe. I really like reading your posts.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? Birdman, I had my mind set on the purchase of the ID Excel this spring to upgrade from my 1236X.You
are the 2nd person on the Forum that has had the problem of moisture getting inside the touchpad and causing a glitch as you stated. I do hope Fisher has fixed the problem ,because I have researched and read many positive reports on the Excel. Once again ,congrats on all the great finds you have been making this winter over there in Germany. Best of luck to you and HH!
