I know we don't have exactly the same historical scale.

For us an old coin is BC... in the US it's around 17/18 which for us is very, very recent! Anyway, the most important is to enjoy our finds ;-)

Sound about correct, I'm guessing in some more recently settled states, very old would be anything over one hundred years old.
 

Jealous man!!...,what a find!
