YEP !!!

DIG LIKE HELL !!!... Stay till ya cant stays no mores.
 

Make sure you dig all those low button hits!

Sure must be great being out!
 

Um... oh and ...
This "your buddies" find ? or yours ?
 

LOL... yup put the phone away and dig as much as you can!! can't wait to see your days total...good luck
 

One of my favorites to find. I have family that live in S.Md. Can't wait to get up that way huntin' again. Definitely just keep huntin' Makaydon or someone else can help you identify it later. Also there is a cob forum you can post it on. Good Luck !
 

Its a 1670s Potosi, Bolivia 1 reale cob. That much is almost certain. A cleaning will likely reveal the last digit of the date below the cross. Not quite sure but looks like a 1675 so far.

Great find. Don't lose it on your way home either. It can happen! [emoji2]
 

I knew it, a nice early site. Being worn again & in the late 1600s, I think the site seems to be around the 1700 mark, but keep digging & who knows! CONGRATS, specially on finding the site.
 

Saw your Lizzy sixpence post previously and now this :thumbsup: Looks like you have yourself a good spot. Any chance of showing some pictures of the buttons you mentioned in your hammered coin post? Are you and your friend gridding the site or just swinging and hoping?
George.

But that didn't count it was just a common hammered, and this one could be just a common Cob.:tongue3:
