🥇 BANNER Holy cow I can't believe I found 1798 US SILVER

[trapperart]

I've had some health issues lately and been unable to get out. Well I've been able to get out the last 3 days. Found old copper and buttons each day. Today I went to the same site I've been beating up. Got in the iron and went low and slow. I was rewarded with this beauty. These are just today's finds. Still running pretty high on adrenaline. Good luck to all. Art

Wow. Just wow. Usually I don't get to the forum often enough to nominate before something hits the banner, this time I can and proud to do it. So many interesting firsts on this coin and others in the same era that 200+ years later we don't even think about. The reverse is too cool.

Congratulations, you must be thrilled. The rest of us will keep looking....

Very nice Art. She sure is a beauty. You dig a lot of the old stuff and finally got one that's in wonderful shape after all these years. Congrats to you Mister.

So, have I got this right, its a large '8' & 5 berries type?

Worth maybe £1,000?

Just seeing this now. WTG Art!!! That is a nice one - it's not holed or plow struck. I have dug 1797 and 1803 DBD's and both of mine are pretty beat up. That is Banner for sure.
