I want to thank everyone for the kind comments and votes of confidence. A find of this date is just simply unknown for SC. Video of the hunt will go over next Thursday. I've been doing this a long time...Still stunned.

Outstanding Greg!! Love those unique early finds. A couple months ago I dug a dated 1670 Bristol merchant's token here in SE Virginia. Surprises like that are always nice.

Great early token!

I have been familiar with these for many years now, but took me a few years, and many times looking at the rotted one I had to recognize it for what it is. Far too gone to ID though, which is too bad, but these all date to the mid. 1600s so still cool to have one.

Cru, we must used the same book as mine also says 1660. Or like is the case new books often copy old books, mistakes and all.

Congrats on a well deserved banner, since I've been on here I've seen less than 5 posted on Tnet from your side of the pond.

As these are thin brass (mostly) they don't hold up so well, & of the 20 or so we find a year, maybe only 1 or 2 come out as nice as that.
