A good day for sure Great looking coins did you clean them, or did they come out the ground like that

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

Don't do this again, no need to put lemon juice on clean coins, you could damage the surface.

The European detectorists have to be saying to them selves Bloody hell I find a coin that Alexander the great could have dropped in battle and I don't ever get recommended for a banner. In the states they find a couple pieces of silver and he is all over the banner.

I am a USAacan and I see the signifignance and I have to VOTE BANNER. SWEET FIND.

For a moment I thought that you were hunting for relics in Europe ... deserve these two coins and much more, find a field in the USA with this kind of coins and be able to find them to be a miracle and a great hunter.
Greetings!...

Amazing finds!! I'd still be in shock over this find of a life time!!...........

I can't help but wonder, wouldn't the 'Archies' love to find out about these finds

Unfortunately, you'd probably not be allowed to hunt the site again if they were to find out...

Its private owned farm land its been in the same family over 300 years, there is one archeological site out here it is historical land and off limits to hunting of any sort 3500 acres

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.

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 Dd60

Seriously, I bet a few more of those books have sold already. Even just a "few" more relic hunters in your area of Long Island coud be a disaster when it comes to competing for land to hunt.

That is a good point, Kyle. We would never give away the source(s) that we found our great sites from. I hope you find more.

Iam not worried about it like i stated before this place is 33 miles long by 2.5 miles wide 80% of it is wooded or vineyards and farm land it would be like looking for a needle in a hay stack in the middle of the night i been out here now 10 years and i still have not seen 2/3 of the places to hunt
