1/4 CUT SPANISH SILVER COLONIAL PISTAREEN COIN

[gwdigger]

1st time out this season. Wife and I took a long drive to check some areas. Lots and lots of corn stubble. Finally around lunch time we came upon a sorta half a$$ed bush-hogged corn field that was tolerable for an hour and a half before the 85 degree sun chased us out. Not much, a few odds and ends not worth posting. But I did get this cut pistareen. I didnt have my camera so had to walk over to my wife with the dirt clod for a pic. Just got done cleaning it up. Not too bad. It was dark before the cleaning.

1700 to 1746. But I'd bet money its from 1717-1738.

Seriously. Youre the only one i know of from your area that has done so well on cobs. But then again I havent heard of too many finding the cut pieces there either.

Yeah it seems like the earlier sites(pre 1720), when I can find them(not often), have the silver but anything later and its copper time. State Coppers and such and Capped bust silver is nearly non existent as well

Nice one Con.g the one i found was a small cob. And half of American .50 around 1850.
