Ironhorse and I went back to the site I dug the 1679 Charles II Twopence, and based on there being three very old coins we both thought the same thing... why couldn't there be a cob there! Even though the subject came up, and it did seem like it would be possible, I don't think either of us thought it was really going to happen... especially since the site went from feast on day one and closer to famine today. But if you dig all the sounds that have a chance sometimes it works out!

Thats a long time but those early sites can be few and far between and those later colonial sites rarely produce a cob. WTG
 

Awesome find. Congrats!

That's a great find! You're on a roll with early silver!
 

And it's holed, too...!
Previous owner's "retirement pension"...? :laughing7:

My 2nd choice for a subject line was... Another Holdie! :) But it has been so long since I had dug a cob it was starting to seem like it wouldn't happen, so I went with how long it has been.
 

That's a nice looking one too ! I'd put a heavy silver or gold ring through that hole and wear it on a chain !!
 

That is a nice hole in one sweet cob! Congratulations on your second! Wow...cannot believe you found two.
 

Congratualtions! :occasion14:

With the hole you can proudly wear it! :icon_thumleft:
 

Great find! Love the Cobs. I find that round objects have a sweeter signal, your Cob looks like a half Reales size and more square than round. How did the signal compare? Sound like a silver dime or more like trash, but you were digging all? Congrats
 

one of my metal detecting life goals. Congrats!!!! Can you attribute a date to it?
 

2hrs and ten minutes glad yours is real did you see the posts last week where all those people found fakes I would be freakin mad lol Some day Ill find one I hope Well done my Friend
 

congrats on the awesome find. it is always a great feeling to squeak out another great find out of a spot but you are doing it right by digging the signals that many would totally pass on. The Cool Factor? Super high of course. huge smile, right? from ear to ear and still smiling I bet!
