I don't even know where to begin! My buddy Phil and I got back onto the field where I've been hunting for the past month. It's a generational site and today certainly proved that! We started in a new area and Phil almost immediately found a piece to a sword guard. A couple minutes later he found another part of the guard. I commented to him that there is probably more and that I was going to find the pommel...and sure enough 3 feet from the other pieces I found the pommel! I am very pleased with that as it's a relic I've always wanted to find!

We decide to fan out looking for more and a couple minutes later I have old silver in the hole! It's a 1676 French 4 Sol! This is actually the second 1676 4 Sol I've found.

Found a lot of lead including a couple ingots and hogue cylindrical piece. Think they were making buttons at this site.

Near the end of the day we start making our way back to the car and within 30 feet I get a nice high silver tone. I pop the plug and there it is...big American silver! This is extremely rare in my area (Nova Scotia) and I could not believe the date! Amazing condition as well!!!

Congrats on a real great hunt Romeo1, The capped bust is in splendid condition! Was lost right after the trip to the bank it appears. Someone had a REAL bad day after losing that much dough.HH.....
 

I don't see where you posted a picture of the "edge" of the coin

research shows that your coin in that condition is at minimum a $1000 coin up to $2500ish or so depending on the exact variety

if it's the scarcer of the 3 varieties with the xxxx edge - you've hit the jackpot!

Outstanding find no matter!
