agreed, its a very nice ring (even though they are not my thing), it has an older than Victy 'feel'

Very nice! Very cool that you found something that might possibly have a link to your past! If I can quit smoking this New years I'm hopefully going to spend the saved dough on a trip to my old families homestead in Ireland which has a Celtic ruin on the property. trouble is, it's never been plowed, ever, just used for grazing so the old stuff will probably be very deep. We're neck and neck for our oldest coin find in North America I think. Here's my oldest which I pulled from the canal embankment, a location of a late india settlement and 1600's mill. My guess is that it was just a case of old ground being turned.

p.s. You're right. Now that the season is about over it is "show and tell" time.

I say Victorian purely because of the style, and if it is, it was a rendom drop because everything else dug was much older. I don't recall anything else from the Victoria era and there was many targets from early French to maybe 1820 British. Most at that particular spot were mid. 1700s.

Yep, that sure is an oldie!!!

I know the history on my mother's side right back to the first settler from France in the 1600s. It was his son who came here in 1720 and settled the area I found the coin. One of my better Liards, and a few bale seals are from the same site as well.

Don't know but was 2 pounches full. Yes all from the same area, a firing range and there was many hundreds more found.

[Tnmountains]
