Todays hunt in France

[Rockin1985]

Hi everyone,

Here is the result of my todays hunt in forest, located 5 min away from my home, in France near Lyon.
A small hunt of only one hour just to relax abit after on week of hard work.

So, 30 min after beginning, here is the first sound on the surface : one "5 sols aux insignes" from Louis XIV, the coin was really on the ground in the forest, I moved it with my boot when I remove the layer of dead leaves !!
Few inches away, another sound, another silver coin 15 centimeters in the ground. Then another, etc.

Results :
- 3 silver coins "5 sols aux insignes" of king Louis XIV dated 1702 and 1703 (one very beautriful, one average and the last very slick)
- 1 silver coin "4 sols aux deux L" of Louis XIV dated 1691 (quite good)
- 1 billon coin "quinzain aux 8 L" of Louis XIV (in a very poor condition)
- 1 unidentified copper coin
- a pin buckle "fish tail shaped" (maybe from the same owner who might have fall there)














Bye

NICE group of FRENCH silver coins of KING Louie the 14th - a child King at age 4 in 1643 and a reign of 72 years & 110 days until his death in 1715 - the longest reign of any monarch in a sovereign country in European history -- those are GREAT finds, my friend. Please keep us posted of any further finds. GOOD LUCK & Happy Hunting. BILL

Thanks a lot guys.

This afternoon, I will try another spots in the woods. I hope I won't come back with empty pockets.

Coins and interesting stuff are scarcer in the woods here than in the fields but in much better condition and the probability of discovering the contents of an old purse is quite higher !

Great old coin saves. Lots of history in that soil, in more ways than one. Good luck out there.
