I found 3 old coins today,, I am not sure what they are I think the smallest one is a Duit,, on the big one I can almost read the date it reads 1690 something.. on the lower one I had the misfortune of hitting it with my shovel ,,the soil was very dense so the coin bend ,,,this did not make me very happy,,but ah well its a worn out rotten old thing anyway :-\,I can just make out some detail on it ..

Nice old coins.

It happens at times. You'll find more to make up for it.

Very nice finds! I hope we find that they're rare and valuable. If not, they would still would look great on display with your future finds!

2 Of 3 coins are still great finds. Don't feel too bad about that last coin. It was well on it's way to disintegration and nothing thing would bring it back to it's original state at that point.

hi .

the coin on the top is a silver coin (it is called) rijderschelling . ;)
the (6 S) that,s written on the coin means (6 stuivers). ;D

the other coin looke,s like a duit from hollandia but i can,t see it so good on that picture. ???

the last coin is to bad to say anything about it :-\

greatings bubbas ;D

(nu even in het nederlands) de bovenste munt is 100% zeker een zilveren rijderschelling,en als je hem in de citroenzuur legt(een uurtje of 2) dan gaat de aanslag er vanaf en heb je een mooie zilverkleur op de munt.
die tweede lijkt mij een duit van hollandia maar is moeilijk te zien.
de derde is van zo,n slechte kwaliteit,dat ik geen ideev heb wat het kan zijn.

gr bubbas (leuk om nog een kaaskop hier te zien haha). :D :D

Wow at that place. Digging every signal would be great with a real deep-seeking MD. Good luck. ;)
