Finally felt like getting out again this morning. Had a good time and just beat the rain that moved in. Another old silver and toasted half cent, really nice complete bell. Odds and ends. Good luck to all. Art

Great hunt

Fantastic old silver there! Are you certain that the copper is a half cent? Almost looks like a colonial European copper, with the crown and a wreath.

Boy the date on that old Spanish silver is really clear.
Very nice hunt.
Congratulations
 
Nice pillars and globes real. They are about as rare as a cob coming out of the ground.

You may be right
 
Art, you are putting a hurting on the Spanish coins! That's an exceptionally nice find.

Very well done sir.
 
Congrats on some very nice finds!
I'm convinced harmonicas were as common in the 1800s as cell phones are now.....
 
Wow!!! Love that Spanish silver!!! 1748 how awesome is that!! Congrats and HH
 
Man that's a nice Spanish! Good old one too!
 
Nice finds. Thats a Scottish Bawbee from the mid/late 1670s. I found one a couple seasons ago. Pretty tough find in the Americas. Mine came from the Eastern Shore of Maryland as well. The coin pictured is not my find. Mine isn;t much better.

I think you're right. Thank you very much. Art
 
Yup. Was just about to say it was a Bawbee. Fantastic digs.
 
Congratulations! Great finds!
 
Stunning Spanish....and I'd never seen a Bawbee before.
Great finds Art, and great ID gw!
 
Art, my goodness, what a hunt! Love the old silver, the crotal bell is fantastic, and what's this about a Bawbee? Never heard of it--How awesome. Congrats. -Lisa & John
 
Congrats on the great looking silver, and the other finds as well.
 
Congrats Art! Good day out swinging! :occasion14:
Got some nice goodies there. The bell looks nice, some cool odd pieces and nice coins!
