I've had some health issues lately and been unable to get out. Well I've been able to get out the last 3 days. Found old copper and buttons each day. Today I went to the same site I've been beating up. Got in the iron and went low and slow. I was rewarded with this beauty. These are just today's finds. Still running pretty high on adrenaline. Good luck to all. Art

sickening. Absolutely sickening. Of course it doesn't count since it was found on the east coast (where such finds are in every sand box ). But still ............ sickening :(
 

Congratulations on achieving your 2nd BANNER Art! :occasion14:
Looks like that site still has a lot more to give. :thumbsup:

I'm late to the show but wow!
 

Congrats on your banner
 

Nice finds, Art. That 1798 is a real beauty. What is the denomination? I must be blind, I can't see it on the coin. Dime probably?

Except for the dollar, it's the only silver denomination made that year. Nice find! :notworthy: I know some of the people in Europe are probably yawning over finding a late 1700's silver coin, but, over here, that's a rare find. :icon_thumleft:
 

Your coin made banner in record time, and it's easy to see why. 1700's US silver is no easy task, and you have a coin without any damage and nice even toning, which all means great eye appeal. A huge congrats to you! I seems a lot of the the 1700's US silver is found in the mid-Atlantic states perhaps due to the relatively close proximity to the Philadelphia mint. Fantastic! :notworthy:
 

That early dime excites me as if I had found it myself. I can't stop admiring the beauty of the early design. Thanks for sharing your find with us and prayers for continued improved health. I hear a standing ovation, and I think your site is calling you back for an encore performance.
 

What a mind blowing coin. Beautiful!!! :occasion14:
 

Wow! Great find.

All the best,

Lanny
 

Going low and slow really does pay off! That's probably going to be an unbeatable banner for a long time! Nice find!
 

I missed it until it hit the top ! Congrats art, its beautiful.
 

Congratulations on the banner. Now, get off your duff and go find something better!:notworthy:
