Hey Guys, Jeff and I got out yesterday for our weekly digging exploits and about 5 minutes after arriving to one of
our spots, I got a really good Silver signal on the MXT (+62)...and as it was about 10 inches from the sidewalk I
thought for sure that it would be a Merc or Rosie or something of that nature....But when I popped it out....my first
instinct was "Its a One Reale!" However, on closer inspection, I realized that this one was a coin that was MUCH
more rare in Virginia and was NOT a Spanish Reale....The reason for this is I saw the Jerusalem cross in the style
that France use to use in the old days......but I had to have alittle help from a couple of my friends to get
verification: thanks fellas
1727 Leopold I Silver 30 Deniers
Reverse: Heraldric Eagle w/ Crown (look for the spread wings and feathers)
It's pretty thin and worn but from what I've seen, this one is actually in really good shape from the others that I've seen that have been dug; and I was really amazed to find FRENCH silver here in Virginia...
Hope you guys like
VIDEO OF COIN COMING OUT
P.S. Here's the Civil War relics that we originally started out hunting that day:
Eagle "A" Coat
Group Shot (Eagle "A" Coat, Eagle "A" Cuff, GS Eagle, Eagle "I", Colonial Silver Wash, etc.)
POOR OLE JEFF...He just couldn't seem to catch a break yesterday....He did manage one Eagle "I" and GS Eagle early in the day:
It looked beautiful from the inside
Throughout the rest of the day he was having a tough break and only dug a couple tent grommets....BUT LO, we
stopped and secured permission at one more place before the end of the day and he redeemed himself with some pretty cool finds including:
1973 South Dakota Medallion United States Bicentennial
And a couple Good buttons this time
Eagle I, GS Eagle, and U.S. Pin, and rest of items from our hunt the day before
We had a great time and thanks again for looking and for your comments
