Got out for 3 more hours on the site where I dug the mystery hammered silver last weekend and dug another keeper. Early 1700s Spanish Netherlands Liard...a first for me. Decent condition considering the age and that it's been in the ground for so long. Also dug more than the usual amount of buttons including a couple fancy buttons and a French Marines. All in all it was a decent hunt!

Well done. Spanish copper seems to have barely circulated in the colonies compared to silver

How super exciting to find something so "Old" and foreign...and identifiable! Your other finds look great too!

The mint years for your coin: 1690 through 1696.
Great save !!
Don......

Wow...even better! Only my fifth coin from the 1600s...although I suspect that the silver I found last weekend predates that. Thanks for the info!
