"i fought a huge toad monster for a 140 year old silver [french]" True lol

Hi all, Today i went to a place known as The Napoleon Reef.Gold was found here in 1868 by french diggers and i assume thats how the quartz reef got its name.Lots of regrowth here and seems untouched since the rush days.I got a faint sound deep under a washed out bank and started to dig down.Lots of roots and was quite damp.At about 9 inches something moved. carefully dug the hole out and i found a big fat ground toad.I put him in a container until i dug the target i was trying to find.The coin found was a french silver from 1866. .The french built most of the bridges over the creek here after the gold rush and i will post some pics of them later on.Heres pics of my ugly fat find and silver coin and the hole and site. Never know what i will dig up next,may be even treasure.

Well, did you kiss the toad. He/she might have held the key to that treasure chest! Nice looking coin.
HH and keep 'em coming

TP, if this is the French coin you found, what the heck is that thing in your other post. By the way, have you kissed that toad yet? HH

Well done as always, Tin! Not only a nice coin in its own right, but one with some great historical context.

As for your other find, considering the malevolent look in that eye... Beware the curse of the Toad Zombies!

Hi Tin,
Excellent find and I agree that toad looks pissed. I would be if I just crapped that coin out and some SOB displaces me and takes my treasure. LMAO Thanks for sharing.

I hate when I dig toads - they really startle me. One outing I dug 3 toads in the course of 2 hrs.

Nice silver coin.
