Massachusetts Silver!!! Never in my wildest dreams!

[Acojoe]

This morning I went to a spot that I have been to a bunch of times before, usually with Cheffer and Secondstar and we have all found a lot of silver and old coins in this area. Close to an old town near my house, I myself have found 9 coins in there including recently a Capped Bust half dime and a Seated dime.

Today I went out alone, and right off the bat found a Barber and SLQ in the same hole! Very happy with that, then about 20 minutes later I got a good deep signal on the ORX, not great but clean, and at about 8 inches pulled out this beauty:



Pine Tree Silver! The Holy Grail! Obverse is not so great, afraid to touch it any more:



It looks like it might be a full shilling that has been trimmed, any thoughts appreciated. Just can't believe it, we always joke every time we go out that one of us will find one of these rare beauties. Can't wait too get it graded,

ACO Joe

As I sit here on your deck having a drink staring at that beautiful tree coin you just found I can't help but think I always figured it would be YOU that would pull the first one you lucky son of a *****! I mean, first the 18K gold pocket watch, then two cobs, now this! I hope to see it up top, congrats Joe! Maybe mine will be Willow!

Congrats. Welcome to the club. Dont have my book around but sure looks like a heavily clipped shilling to me. Weird how the reverse is so worn in the middle though
