Hey HH (now that I know who you are) That is a great find. Really as the french coins just don't show up.
CONGRATS my very good friend. Awesome in my books.

Of course you have a few finds in that catagory.

Those sols were only minted in the early 1790s if memory serves me correctly , pretty good find, I've only dug a couple of those bad boys myself
