Had a multi day hunt with my bud Iron Patch. We both dug a crazy amount of holes and ended up with a great hunt. Managed to cross a big one of the bucket list with a very nice 1741 French 2 Sols. Then with an 90 minutes left to the hunt got a 15 Deniers countermanded in 1640 and restruck in the 1690s. Got hit by the plow and not in great shape, but was enough for Iron Patch to ID. A few military with an RP, rough 3rd American, and 2 navy that will clean up better. What I think are 4 French bale seals, any added info on them is appreciated. Partial sword sword guard, cool little toy gun, cuff links, alot of flat buttons, musket balls, and coppers.
A few Canadian silver coins, the coolest is a silver quarter that both sides are almost entirely covered in iron. I can’t figure out what it is and it doesn’t give a diggable signal out if the ground lol.
It’s hard to list everything as we dug so many holes. Im overwhelmed trying to clean and making a sensible post, but me and IP had a great time and Im hoping he lets me back after popping 2 colonial French silver hehehehe.

Man that was worth the trip for sure! I bet ol IronPatch is gonna need some time to recoup after that marathon. Good going on the silver! That's crazy! Wicked finds!
 

very nice finds
 

Awesome hunt! French colonial silver is always a phenomenal save. Congrats!
 

WOW!!!! :hello2: Some excellent finds! Congrats!
 

French Silver is a hard nut to crack.
Welcome to the club.
 

Epic hunt! :headbang:

Man, I wish I lived where I could dig colonial.....
 

Crazy hunts. 2 French silver WOW, early military, very cool bale seal, and a cartwheel. That would be a decent year.
 

wow, that was a lot of digging! and well worth it! a lot of saved history and very cool finds
 

Wow! Looks like you found a LOT of coppers and nice silvers on that hunt! Very nice relics too!
 

Of all the iron we navigated through and around it's pretty wild the best stuff came from places where there was so little. We definitely dug a pile! Ain't going to be like that in July, and that's why the patio will come into play. :tongue3:
