Hi all! I generally do not post much. But this is my oldest U.S silver coin I have ever found. I had to share it! I have been hunting Indian artifacts in this field for years, I just got permission to metal detect it too! I dug a lot of trash at first, some old buttons. Then I got that signal, popped the plug and saw it was a silver coin, I said “please don’t let it be Spanish”. I am very happy with the shape it’s in, no plow damage! I hope it has some friends. :thumbsup:

That's a sweet coin...an early year too. Maybe you could show a picture of the face side with all the dirt washed off? Congrats again, hope to see it on the banner.
