I Never Thought

[soldier35]

Hello All,
Dug this at one of my favorite places. I never thought I'd find one of these in NW Ohio but just goes to show you never know. My oldest silver to date. Thanks for looking and Good Luck One and All.

Very nice silver. It's amazing how things end up where they do isn't it?

 

[HCW]

Do we know what size it is.
That will tell you , 1/2, 1, 2, 4, or 8 reale.
Nice find however big.

You know they're out there. Lots of trade going on up here back in the day. The French, The British, the americans and of course the natives. Maybe one of Anthony Wayne's soldiers dropped it on the way to Kekionga. Awesome find!!!

I've dug two but both of mine had the dates rubbed off. Congratulations, looks like you've got a good one.

I think it's a 1/2 reale. It's about the size of dime. It was about 6inches down. I must say, I'm one happy Buckeye. Thanks again and Happy Hunting to All!

From one former NW Ohio Buckeye to another, big time congratulations! I've got my eye on a field back home there too, but they haven't harvested the darn soybeans yet, dang it! Permission slip in hand, and can't get dirty! Great find.
