Spanish silver!

[Jyverb64]

I still can't believe that I dug this, Spanish silver was definitely on my wish list but I never expected to get it in a front yard near the ditch. This is the same yard from my post a couple weeks ago with the indians and buckles. The first thing I dug was 2 indians stuck together turned out to be an 1864 and 1898 so I was pretty happy, next I got the cool suspender. I headed down towards the ditch line and got a solid dime signal and at about 8" out popped a 1902 barber, about 10' away another dime signal I'm thinking cool another barber but no I took a handfull of dirt from the hole and out popped what I thought was a piece of scrap until I took a close look at it at this point I'm talking to myself, no way. It looks like a 3 on the bottom so I'm guessing 1773, some more info would be great

That is an interesting cut piece for sure. Would like to know the significance of the serrated edge. Now get out there and find the other half.

The serrated edge is what made me think it was scrap at first.

Just a thought, the carved knotches might be someone's way of keepin up gambling debts, hunting kills, war kills etc
