🥇 BANNER RARE NEW BRUNSWICK SILVER, 1st hunt of season

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

First dig of the season, was quite nice at about 50 F.

Got a copper pretty quick, about an hour later I got a small silver, too much mud on it to know exactly what it was. Later in a mud puddle I discovered it to be a New Brunswick 10 cent silver. Not right up on the prices I did know it was a scarce coin, and I did notice it had a doubled "2" in the date "1862 BTW"

So, when home I look it up, a lot better than I thought.

Probably my best first day. Even the crotal bell is a first with the makers initials...S. I. or I. S. anyone ?

Great start to your season Rick. I absolutely love the maker marked crotal bell, the dandy button is sweet, and the NB silver is BANNER!
