TWICE in a lifetime...

[BarryInNY]

OK - this is absolutely insane.
About a year ago I found my first cob - a 1666 Potosi mint in great condition in a farm field on eastern Long Island.
Yesterday I went out looking for a field to get some detecting in. I spotted a field that is across from one of my regular spots and that I was never able to get onto as the cover was always too high. This field is about half mile from the field where I found my first cob.
Well they must have pulled the potatoes out early this week because the field was like a flat baseball field with a nice soft cover of freshly rolled dirt.
I headed down a straight line on the right side of the field and didn't get a hit....so I decide to make a 90 degree left about midway down the field and start heading across.
About 40 feet on this line, I get a nice repeatable 82 on the Deus in 12khz. If you don't have a Deus, that's copper area and thin small silver.
About 6" deep and it's out of the hole...a quick pinpoint and instantly I knew I had a hammered silver of some sort. I rub slightly but cannot see any details. An hour later, back at the car and a little shake in my plastic pill bottle with some water...and you guessed it....holy crap.....another cob.
However - what I can't believe is that it had the date on it (luckly me) and even more unbelieveable is that it's ANOTHER 1666!!!!

far out! wonder what the odds of that happening was?

[uglymailman]

Now ya have problems. You will have to run a line between the last find and the new one, then move over & run the line back. Just have to make sure there's not a sting of em. Great find.

I"m lucky to get an old corn can, and you get a Cob, not one, but two. Sheesh.
Great find.

Amazing Find! Way To Go!

Well WOW, that's all I can say WOW!!!!!!

Being that those were in relatively close proximity (I know its pretty far but...) perhaps you should keep searching around the general area. This could be from a cache or an old battle where these were spread around before the properties were divided the way they are today.
I'd be hunting that area exclusively for as long as I could. Nice find(s)!
