i went back to the church grove where last week i found the musketball and hit it hard. i nearly passed out when at 2 inches out came a silver coin dated 1781!! i wish i had a scanner or a camera because i need serious help in identifieng it and i know there are several of you who will know exactly what it is. all i can do is describe it........its about the size of a dime ( a little smaller) on the front is a portrait of who i assume is the king of england. the date 1781 is directly below that.reading from the left of the date it reads CAROLUS-III-DEI-GRATIA- on the back it has the crown at the top, and under it is a family crest flanked by what looks like horns on either side.from the top right on around it reads -HISPAN-ET-IND-R-M-F-F . and as i said it is silver. i also found a copper coin which i assume to be colonial as well! but it is so corroded and damaged i can only make out the word LONDON on it.it is wafer thin and is slightly larger than a modern penny. any help in identifying these coins would be awesome. i will work on getting pictures put up as soon as i can find someone with a camera and a scanner........i also dug .17 cents in clad and a whole lot of pulltabs!! i cant wait to get a better machine to hit this spot with. if i can find stuff like this with the ace 250 there has got to be deeper targets that i just cant reach at the moment. thanks for looking!!
