I took my two boys to the beach to play while I did some detecting. All I found was some modern change. I always keep swinging until the last moment and I'm glad I did. In the grassy path on the way to the car I got a hit and out popped the old silver. There was three paths to choose from and I took the middle route. Sucks I had to leave the spot instantly but when mommy calls for the kids to come home it's time to go. I'll be back though. Thanks for looking! [emoji2]

That is a nice looking coin. Never saw one of those before. It had a really great patina.

During this coins design and minting king George iii was insane and the guy who made the coins had to go off another image. It didn't go over well for him! Haha
