UNREAL!!! Exactly One Week Later...Another SILVER from the 1600s!!!

[romeo-1]

Title almost says it all! Exactly one week ago I found my first silver dating to the 1600s...a 1691 or 1692 French 4 Sol. Today I went back to that field and had just finished hunting for a couple hours and found nothing but a small flat button and a decent quartz arrowhead. I promised the wife that I would be back home at 3pm to take the evening baby shift so at 2:45 I started heading back to the car. Yep, this is yet another one of those "I was on my way back to the car" finds!! Got a decent signal on the F75 and actually thought "Could it be another?" Yep!!! Unlike the first one I found this one is perfectly struck. Luckily the date side is clear but the other side is well worn. Gave it a quick non-intrusive cleaning and done! No doubt about the date on this one...1691!

Officially my oldest coin...again!

You gotta be kidding me. Dude, if it was the same area you gotta find that site. Looks like it will clean well.

Looks like..... I / Tower Limoges Mint - Michel Briosne (1690-1692)

It fits but there is no book value listing for that mint so I question if it's right.

Nice romeo. The last one was sweet too. I can't imagine finding a silver from the 1600s. Hope you can pull some more stuff from that site!

I think Iron Patch is a button hunter.

Get back there and dig up a third, Romeo! These are more than strays.

Not sure what this hunt has to do with me hunting buttons or anything else.
