1816 6 pence, and a fat button

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

A welcome Silver for the miles I put on, a fat button, front, and back seem the same, I should see if I can clean it up a bit, and a few leads.I believe an 1865 indian. Nice day diggin.

Just been told it is a blow hole button, pic added.

Early silver is always nice, something I'll take under my coil every day.

That's in about as good nick as you could hope for, you would need to put alot of miles over here as well to see one as nice. CONGRATS

A 1816 Bull Head Sixpence was the first Silver coin I ever found...that's a better than average one.

That's a nice one for sure Rick, they always look a bit smoother when I find them
I hope theres more silver out there waiting for you!

Thanks guys, being my second oldest silver (not counting a blank) pretty happy with the condition. Don't know if I put the scuff on it, sure it has seen the plow a few times.

That Sixpence is a Beauty!! Congrats!! One question. How large is a sixpence? Is it the size of a dime or quarter? Just curious.
