This one had too much incredible detail to not share it. We are still reaping rewards from the 1700's lane where we found the cache of Nova Constellatio's. This is the only silver we've dig there-

Thanks for taking a look,

WOW. What kind of site and what part of the country?
Hi Benny-

I'm in Eastern Pennsylvania right on the Delaware River-midway between Easton PA & Stroudsburg PA. The site is a large, forested hillside that hides a network of colonial roads connecting various old homesites. The homesites were all on the 1874 map, but we mainly dig 1700's coins and relics in there. Lot's of tombac, shoe buckle frames, etc. A large corporation is looking to purchase this land, so we are pummeling this space while we have access to it. Yesterday on the walk out we were trying to tabulate the amount of coppers we've pulled here and it was over 40. 12 of those are Nova Constellatio's, 2 of them are Liberty Caps, 1 Connecticut copper, and the balance are KG I's/KG II's. The oldest coin is dated 1723.
 

What a great site! I hope you can continue to have access if it is sold. Or maybe, if it looks like you will be excluded, having a group of friends detect it in a final bash might be worthwhile.
That Spanish silver is in incredible condition! I've found only 3, and each is worn thin with some detail erased.

stunning and in such good shape, wtg and I'm a little jelly 😊
 

Condition is stellar... well done.
This coin in this condition is very rare.
This is a banner find and should make the banner list for sure.

PS... IMO... you should have this coin graded.
Rinse with hot water to remove any excess debri's and pat dry gently.

This coin will grade out well... even if it receives an enviro-grade it would be worth $$$ graded.
