Being in Ohio, I doubt if I get a coin that old. Most of the old trading routs and indian trails from back then have been turned into highways. Maybe if I take a weekend and get down by the ohio river. Glad to see another break into the 1700's club. My oldest coin was found yesterday, an 1831 large cent.

Congrats on the nice find!!!

That may be my favorite coin design. My favorite copper is a 1760 Hibernia. Congrats on a great find. And welcome to the 1700s club
