1827 French Copper, Jews Harp, Buttons

[Ahab8]

Got out for a quick hunt after work the other day and this morning for a bit. The French 5 centimes is a welcomed first and was very very deep. Psyched to dig the Jews harp as I never find these for some reason. Hoping that things are going to line up to get out to my 1614 site this week....fingers crossed

Guess that means I'll have to dig something this Fall to get in that magazine!

No but I wish you could see this one in person. It's so solid and its huge. Nice engraving on it


Admittedly not as nice or old as yours buddy. Ok I'm going to stoop way down low....Any Tree Coins? I know man but that's all I got left. And a 1664 cob. Ok I'm going to bed on that note. I'm trying man I'm trying. Hoping to get on some earlier sites this month

No, just a Spanish that's worth a lot more.

I've dug several things I probably could have written about, but too late now. Guess we'll see what the future brings, and decide then. Twenty years down the road you'll be happy you did it.

It was a fun experience. I've always enjoyed writing and it was a bucket list item to have something published some day. And you can just say "no Abe I have NOT found any Mass silver." Lol I didn't ask about your stupid Spanish.

Awesome..

Couple of different finds for you. The copper is in fine shape, and congrats on the harp as there's not many posted up, it'll look great in the display.

Abe - your coin looks awesome on the cover! And it worked out great that my Lord Baltimore appeared next to yours. Originally my article about that find would not have come out until later in the year, but I had them move some others back so I could get it in earlier, and it just happened coincide when your find made it in. Great timing!!

 

[treblehunter]

Nice finds Abe, nice cleanup.

 

[creade]

Awesome finds Abe. You're killing it lately! Can't wait to see what you find at this new place.

Nice hunt, Abe! Are you trying permission for the 1614 site? Woods?

I've got permission. It's just a very very difficult place to get to and takes some planning
