Me and Heavymetalnut went Back to the sites we found last week,didnt do so good around the cellar hole so i started hitting all the fields it paid off.I found my first 1783 Nova Constellatio,2 Dandy buttons and some kind of buckle.Theres still a lot of dirt packed on the Nova Constellatio,i just hit it with a very soft toothbrush as you can see the coin has a lot of detail.

That is a beautiful example of a nova. I have found 8 Novas and my nicest one does not even remotely compare. Great finds.... As always

1783 Nova Constellatio, pretty sure its the first one of this type I have seen on here. I know next to nothing about them, but I'm sure they are pretty scarce in that shape :o :hello2:

Indeed, I was thinking the same thing Crusader said above, that this is the first of that type that I've seen on here as well. That's what it's ALL ABOUT right there!!! That's a holy grail find, enjoy it Foundation!! :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :icon_thumleft: :wink:
