Had a long day at work today. Yes I do work! Lol
Talked to Scrappy about coming down and swinging with me on this field that was mowed. Well I het there and it was not mowed!
I tols Scrappy to meet me at the 1700s tavern. When I get there he is coming out of the woods with bottles in his hand! He says to me there is all kinds of things in the woods, old foundation bottles..
I said I KNOW!!!!! LOL.
Anyway he talks me in to going in there to hunt. I really wanted to wait till Fall, because of the ticks. Anyway We go in and its pretty thick, kind of tuff to swing.
I get this great high tone. And say Steve this is a good one. He comes over, ( really glad he did) because im hacking away in the hole and he screams stop!!!! We look down and see a big silver. I pull it out and im shaking saying what is it???
Well its a German 3 thaler. From Prussia! !
This area was a big battle in rev war.
The battle of Whitemarsh. And there was British and Hessian soldiers camped here back in 1777.
This coin I believe fits in that time frame..
Thats my story and I'm sticking to it. Lol.
Thanks Steve for stopping me before I killed another coin.
Thanks for looking
George

Too bad of a technicality that this wont make it up top, deserves banner for sure!

I guess having multiple banner worthy finds isn't such a bad thing lol
 

The real story is I saw George sprinkle fairy dust and ground up four-leaf clover over the hole before the coin appeared.

You forgot a pic of my favorite part of your coin- the edge!!

Congrats George and thanks for the invite!

Steve
I knew it!!! You guys have secret potions!!! Im grinding clovers and searching Amazon for fairy dust!

history is so freaking cool sometimes.... especially when you can hold it in your hand.

Hey Chris,
I do love this find, but there is one other thing that would put me over the moon. And that would be to find a Military button from that Campaign!! Now that would be Awesome.
 

Holy crap! Beautiful coin Vino. You're hunts are so consistent. Always great finds man. You're in my top three favorite posters...I'm speechless every time :headbang:

I won't mention any names but another good buddy of mine had 2 up top at the same time. I agree this baby is unique enough and the condition is awesome. The possible connection puts it over the top for me
 

Amazing you are a machine can't wait to see what you dig next
 

That is one sweeeeet piece of silver. Congratulations on a great save(Scrappy better get a helluva good Christmas present).
 

Nice vid OD! I watched it happen on Friday!
