Congrats Steve!! I've been strictly hunting colonial sites in Virginia for the past 6 years and have yet to find a British hammered and you've found two or more!! I'm super envious but I'm also happy for you. I've been watching your videos since your colonial pit videos (which I want to see more of) and I really enjoy them. Joey - Colonialfiend

Amazing coin! What a find, what a hunt overall! Huge congrats!
 

Beauty. I’m not sure why impossibly difficult to find coins don’t make banner, but you have the respect of any colonial hunter worth his grits. Congrats again on that outstanding find

Never ceases to amaze me when I hear about colonial spots that give up handfuls of colonial silver. Hope I find such a spot someday and hope you have only scratched the surface on yours. Banner finds on a banner site
 

Nice Find !
How well Do you check Your Holes ?

While you are digging the Sixpence your Probe is going crazy.

If you look at around the 6:27 mark, there appears to be a Hammered Silver something
Stuck to the Tip of your Probe

a closer look shows what looks like a Hole in It

I believe it got knocked off when you laid your probe down.
as the sound broke for a second then ceased hollerin"
what did you leave behind ? Jewelry ? Trade Silver ? Signs of a trading Post or Cache ?
