Well, I have not been on here in sometime due to other projects. But, I have been doing plenty of metal detecting and if you search hard enough you'll find my finds. Anyway, these are some of my finds from Jan 7 & 8 2016. Well, it will not let me post anymore than what you see for some reason? Keep getting message that says upload failed? Thanks and HH to all!

Very crisp looking cut piece, congrats.
The upload message is usually has got to do with the photo size.

Glad you finally got on the board with the Spanish brother. Wish I could have been there to see it.

I hope I can find some more colonial silver. My one colonial spot is not giving up anything anymore and I have no prospects for a new site. Nice find on the cut piece. Ive never found any cut coins so I'm envious everytime I see one.

That's pretty. I've found a bunch of Spanish but never a cut one. It's on my list.

Big Congrats!!!!!!

Nice one Wes. I was surprised to hear in one of your vids that you haven't found a cob which is surprising given where you hunt and the great finds you make. I see one in your near future!

Thought I already responded to this Wes, but guess that was on FB. That's a nice little cut piece with an early date. That site has definitely been good to you guys.

WOW nice cut and quartered piece. I wish there was a national database for finds of cut and quartered colonial coins. Would be interesting to see the "general" areas they are found and recovered. CONGRATULATIONS, history in your hand, was once in another hand a long time ago!!!
