1 Leopold I deserves a buddy Fedri II 1625 to 1632 silvers

Deepdiger60 · Jun 9, 2010

Since Saturday i have been hunting fields and heavy wooded areas and it payed off this time the old north-fork is getting older my sister got me a book published in 1975 called Pagans Puritans Patriots about this home town i live in the oldest English town in NY it is fantastic :icon_thumleft:

gave me lots of ideas where to hunt Founded in 1640 ? ill debate that , first i hunted a just plowed field didn't really produce much a few really toasted LC,s early 1800,s and some cool artifacts so i hit the woods next to it along the bay front that was a lot better there is a stone foundation still there once a home, i got some good silver signals 1 1626 King Leopold and 1 Ferdinand II 1625 to 1632 undated both coins where within 6 feet of each other not deep either about 6 inches amazing the ground was full of oyster shells and scallop shells they turned to chalk when i touched them and fell apart another far out find was a 1961 Danish 1 Krone :icon_scratch:

i got a nice very small silver ring a cool double heart pendent 3 flatty buttons no marks a d buckle some lead shots lots of old glass bits one is milk glass i took a few to many pics sorry :hello:

enjoy Dd60

Great silvers man.

Those are really old for the states. Ny has alot of old history. We are fortunate to be in the NE. I live in pittsburgh pa and it is very old here also. I just found out my dad's sister owns a large parcel of land with lake and she told my dad it is the oldest land in NY. It was occupied by indians etc.

I've never been to NY. I've been to California and every where else but not to NY. I plan on making a trip later in the summer.

Awesome coins, Deep!

I cringed, though, when he showed what book you are using to do your research. I hope it doesn't result in claim jumpers raiding your area.

The town of Southampton may take issue to your claim about Southold being the oldest town. :wink:

Congrats on your banner find!

Now that is some find in the States. You're making us proud here by actually finding coins which could be classified as "sorta old" over in England!

You've found a great site. I hope to see more finds like these. And they do deserve the banner.

Southold and Southampton are the 2 oldest towns on the Fork,s only difference is the ships land here first because of the bay harbor the ocean side was to rough of a landing Peconic bay lays between both with Shelter Island right in the middle my new Sov.GT is going to get a good work out this summer at all those beaches lol thanks for the congrats .Dd60

Naaa the historic posse is always on patrol out here there is one way in and one way out of the northfork unless they good swimmers ? they see a new face they watch, besides that book was published in the fork if someone sneeze,s out here the whole town knows it ,its only 33 miles by 2 miles wide and 1 highway and if the posse dont get them the ticks will :laughing7:

Thanks i had to soak them in lemon juice to get the dark color off they came out nice i did not want to over do it the soil was very dark and soft once the top was broke off i could use my hands to dig the woods out here has a deep layer of i guess i could say mulch plus there was a lot of old oyster shells mixed in which i think scratched the coins over time the coins were just over 6 inches deep Jim
