Hi Everyone,
Even after last night's soaking rain, I decided to go out to the site I've been hunting for nearly 5 weeks.
This is the same site that produced a 1778 Spanish Half Reale and many other goodies.
I never thought I would top that half reale, but now I'm not so sure.
This rang in on my White's Eagle SL 90 as a strong 85 VDI. It hit and held at 85.
It was at a depth of 5 1/2 inches.
After popping the (muddy) plug, I could see the silver rim peaking out of that gray Indiana clay.
I just about died when I saw the date & detail.
This is, without a doubt, my sharpest old coin.
I'm still trembling.
Happy Memorial Weekend and Happy Hunting,
~Indiana Digger~
