German Silver?

[*Dig-Dug*]

OK - Got to go play for awhile tody and look what popped out of the ground on a nearby riverbank. Assume it's a German coin but that's about all I can figure out. Anybody have thoughts on a date Oh yeah the thing is wafer thin.

Wow great coin. George Wilhelm(German States-Brandenburg-Prussia) 18 Groschen, 1619-1640 Here is one a little different but very close. http://www.vcoins.com/world/beastcoins/store/viewItem.asp?idProduct=296
Yours is a 1622 I believe.


Congrats on an awesome find

Sweet! thanks for the link. That really helps. I'll be sure to head back there and see what else I can turn up. We need some rain out here though. The ground is hard as a rock.
