Boy the coins keep coming for you guys, and in a big way. I don't know a thing about those early silvers, but sounds like you've recovered an ultra-rare find. Many congrats to you and Cru-dad. Isn't it great when Plan B turns out to be a stroke of good fortune??

Holy moly, you sure know how to reel them in. I am sure your Celtic silver would amaze the most seasoned European detectorist and it is for that reason I amsubmitting yet another Banner vote for one of your finds.
Congrats Cru, I can't wait to see what you and your Dad bring up next time.
