Hi Guys & Girls

The `` Ceitil ´´ is the equivalent to the farthing, First minted under King Afonso V . Its name comes from the name sextile, ie one sixth, these coins were minted from 1438 till 1578.

Guess it depends on what kind of ground it comes out of. I dug a colonial half dime smaller and thinner than that,and that little sucker was close to a foot deep almost.I was just figuring with that being a few centuries older, it was deep in the ground.awesome find

You would think so, but not allways the case......
