Another amazing hunt, Eric is on a roll and found another silver trade brooch, this time caught on video :) He also finds what we thought was going to be a slick but turns out to be a Geo III. Ward found a 1863 British Penny.. and of course the kids had a blast catching harmless snakes.

Trade silver is one of those things that show up in location location location, you just have to be in the right place.....you found it!
Awesome find!
It's another one of those things that I hope to find someday too.

That trade silver is outstanding! What's your thinking on the Geo iii? 1806/07?

I'm thinking closer to the 1770's half penny, I can see the outline of her head and arms on the reverse side.. also the bust is really high close to the top. And the bottom looks to have the same shape.. so far it's my guess :)

Oops wrong one, we recently found two, this morning as I was editing one of our next video's I notice the other was the possible the 1773.. this one has not been identified yet.
