Went back to the new site after work today.
Wednesday evening I only dug 2 plain flat buttons, so I took Thursday off.
Sure am glad I went back today.

I had a dinner date tonight, and I was only supposed to hunt for 1.5 hours.
I wasn't finding much, so I kept going.
Right around the 2 hour mark I dug another silver cob, and had to go.
Looks like I will be heading back in the morning.

This one is a Phillip 5 weighing at 1.9 grams. It is the largest half real cob I have ever dug.
For a minute I thought I had a 1R, nope just a big 1/2R

I also think I might have found an old Brass bowl/dinner plate. It is 6-1/4" wide and about an inch deep.
It was in a hole that might be a trash pit. There was a bottom of an old black glass bottle in the hole, some bricks, and lots of pieces of glass.
This was dug in the same area my flat buttons, and Script I pewter came out of.
Could it be an 1812 ish era dinner bowl? Older? Newer?

Cru,
I'm convinced that if there is a cob buried in England, anywhere in your area, you or your dad will find it.
Meanwhile, the quantity and quality of your finds continue to amaze me.
Don........
'If' there is one....lol
The funny thing is, that I used to say I wanted Spanish Silver (Because I had a few copper cobs), but then as you may remember I got a Pre-cob in the same year as a post-cob silver. So now I'm saying 'Spanish Silver Cob'.
