I had some play time before work today so I decided to detect in the water at my favorite sand boxes. It was in the 80s so the cool cedar water here in the pine barrens was refreshing. This coin came out of the bottom of sandy creek. It has not yet been conserved.

Great save!! Congrats!!!
 

It really looks like it has lots of details on the copper. Nice to have a sand box as giving as that for history. Congrats :occasion14:
 

Oh, man those photos gets my heart beating fast. Beautiful coin.
 

To think stuff like this is just sitting there - untouched for centuries - boggles my mind.
