Fantasic finds!!! YOU are in a great area. A coin from the 1600's is amazing. Your heart must still be pounding.

Do you realize a Puritan may have dropped it!

I VOTED BANNER!

Recovering history, one little bit at a time. Great finds. Would love to see a close up of the heart pendant too.

Gotta vote banner on this one for so many reasons. You have just started to uncover what this site has to offer!

Wow those are two great coins. Never seen them before til now. I'd keep hitting that spot. Up here they used those old shells as fertilizer, so maybe a garden area? :dontknow: Anyway nice finds deepdigger, and I'll second the Kirk banner vote. :thumbsup:

Woooohoooooooo! This is the most amazing Colonial discovery I have seen on here in awhile. :icon_thumleft: Those coins were lost by a frontier settler on the North Fork. :headbang: They are in amazing condition as well. I am guessing they were lost around 1640. :headbang: :notworthy: :hello2:

You have become one heck of a Colonial hunter, Deepdiger! I can't wait to see what else you dig in those heavily canopied woods. Amazing!

I don't do this often, but this one deserves it. I am voting BANNER! :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

The "upside down V" is called an inverted chevron and the mint is ...Saint Polten Mint. Years for that mint are 1624,25 & 26.

I think you're right, and believe it's from the Hall mint.

Thanks TDNY it took a bit of soaking in lemon juice to clean them up i think they turned out fine i wont try to clean any further rolled flan is paper thin, the soil in that woods is very dark and soft maybe the oyster shells keep it in low mineral content they turn to calcium deposits .Dd60
