WTG! looks like a thin coin, about US Quarter size? Anyway, the old silver is always nice to find, I only have one French coin, that one a copper, and you know my son has that 1595 Douzain, but I guess the French coins did not make it this far south in any great amounts.

Again, congrats on getting a nice piece of silver......

Yes about a quarter and size and all billon coins are thin. They're usually very poor when dug so being able to read it is a bonus.

I do remember Dan finding that. Interesting it would make it there as we don't dig many even at early French sites.

Nice coin Iron Patch. I hope I can add an old silver to my collection next year. I'm about done for this year, unless we get a few indian summer days scattered in to the weather forcast around here.

No chance of that here, the Indians just aren't nice.

Might get out a couple more times though.


... I usually get at least one oldie every year. No Spanish in 2007 which kinda sucks but what can you do.

North East, and I'm gonna dig em all before you can get here. :P

Time spent detecting and maybe a little forum help is what is gonna teach ya the best. But in person will help if you can find someone.

That is an awesome find! Can we see a picture of the back? I would love to see if it's in the same shape.

Congrats on an amazing find! I've found one old Spanish silver in miserable shape, and that thrilled me nonetheless, so I can only imagine the jig you did!

Cheers and HH,
