Huge hunt with French colonial silver!

[cerebus]

Had a multi day hunt with my bud Iron Patch. We both dug a crazy amount of holes and ended up with a great hunt. Managed to cross a big one of the bucket list with a very nice 1741 French 2 Sols. Then with an 90 minutes left to the hunt got a 15 Deniers countermanded in 1640 and restruck in the 1690s. Got hit by the plow and not in great shape, but was enough for Iron Patch to ID. A few military with an RP, rough 3rd American, and 2 navy that will clean up better. What I think are 4 French bale seals, any added info on them is appreciated. Partial sword sword guard, cool little toy gun, cuff links, alot of flat buttons, musket balls, and coppers.
A few Canadian silver coins, the coolest is a silver quarter that both sides are almost entirely covered in iron. I can’t figure out what it is and it doesn’t give a diggable signal out if the ground lol.
It’s hard to list everything as we dug so many holes. Im overwhelmed trying to clean and making a sensible post, but me and IP had a great time and Im hoping he lets me back after popping 2 colonial French silver hehehehe.

Crazy hunts. 2 French silver WOW, early military, very cool bale seal, and a cartwheel. That would be a decent year.

Of all the iron we navigated through and around it's pretty wild the best stuff came from places where there was so little. We definitely dug a pile! Ain't going to be like that in July, and that's why the patio will come into play.
