Monster Potato find

[Westfront]

Yesterday when i was out to a field i have permission to i seen a farmer harvesting his potato field. I stopped by and asked if i could detect there too. He said "try it, but show me what You've got when you're ready" Next couple of hours i detected his field, not much signals there, but i got some 1700s coins. While i dug a 1733 1/4 Stueber my best Buddy came over to show me his find of the day. A potato roughly 8"... Who has done better now?

Dog ate more then one...i dont know why he likes the special taste of raw potatos....
These cleaned up well. Most of the coins are scrappies. The small one is the coin from the pic above. 3 Pfennig Soest, around 1740-50 from the design, other is the 1/4 Stueber 1733, minted in Duesseldorf for a duchy named Juelich/Berg that is where i live.... Both are hammered coppers as You can see.
