Re: My 6th Coin from the 1600s

I guess that's being on the board!

1655, 56, 57, or 58.

I would hit that pasture with a passion, Patrick. :icon_thumleft: It is close to your home and produces Colonial relics. :headbang: You are living the dream, my friend. Now, if you could only get Iron Patch away from his coffee pot, maybe he would find something. ;D :laughing7:

Even on a decent liard the date can be tough to see it's so small, so probably very little chance for that one.

Oh yeah...i've hit this field hard and it's always given me something postable. It's funny because I think of it as my "beat site" but it always produces...

Good job, cool coin.
I got my oldest today too, can't read the date either, but it's still the oldest. Always nice to beat records.

Find the early sites in those areas and you'll dig some great silver including cobs. It's the type of site all mine are from.

That's as clean as it will get...if I even get it wet the detail will slough right off. It's starting to de-laminate on the edges so into a 2x2 as is.
