Brick House Hunt Part IV "The French Connection" Killer Find

[Loco-Digger]

Went back to the brick house today hoping to pull some IHPs or at least something from the 1800's.
I am running BOOST process and changed direction from (East to West) to (North to South).
As soon as I got there, it started to drizzle.
No fear, I won't melt. Within a few minutes it cut loose.
I went to the van and got my poncho, a little rain was not going to chase me away.
First target was the bullet. On my 3rd row I get a big hit next to the sidewalk.
I dug down 8 inches, nothing in the plug.
I pulled the pro pointer out and when I put it in the hole it was going off. Must be a little deeper.
To make a long story short I pulled my 1st Big silver, and it's from the 1800's! An 1812 Napoleon Empereur 5 Francs coin. I am stiil stoked even though I dug it about 4 hours ago.
The wife normally does not get excited regarding my hobby nor the finds, but she had to take a pic of that coin to send to her pops. Pulled 3 more wheats (1935, 1944, & a 1951-D. Only 2 memorial pennies.

I did go next door to an older permission and I pulled an old stirrup (now I have the set) dug the other one last year.

Isn't this a wonderful hobby? Thanks for reading, and hope ya'll got out to swing the coil today.

That 1812 5 Francs coin is a Banner find as far as I'm concerned. You're really putting in the time at that house and it's paying off

 

[Old Dude]

[treblehunter]

Wow, that is such a cool find, there should be lettering on the edge of that sweet silver. That is worth a few bucks too, I love it and I'm sure when Carolina Tom sees it he will be jelly like me. I found a stirrup like yours too. Wish I could say the same as that giant silver old coin!

Congrats Loco!

Very well done LD! That is a really killer find. Congrats on your first BIG SILVER!

 

[Joe hunter]

Cool coin I sure don't have one of those odds are probably against finding one

 

[Subterranean]

Unbelievable, Loco! Imagine if that coin could talk. Trappers, explorers, traders, Natives, French soldiers, Pioneers may have all handled that one deep in the heart of the Louisiana Purchase! Congrats, Sub

I never thought I'd find one until it happened. Was hoping to pull and IHP when this rang up. It took me over 600 hours of detecting before I finally swung my coil over this coin.
