I ventured back to the area I found the King James Hammered penny and about 100 feet away I found a King James hammered silver sixpence. I could not believe my eyes! I continued on to find a US plate, civil war bullets, a pommel and much more. Check out the video here

Ok, I'm officially green with envy over your second hammered coin find in as many days. What a site you have there - early colonial coins and CW period finds. Doesn't get much better than that. Banner vote coming.
 
Absolutely incredible !! I guess you'll be gridding that area very carefully - stunning finds really ...
 
That's a beautiful piece of silver. :occasion14:
 
Congrats on the hammered silver.
Yep,, I would be walking in a daze for days.
 
You're on fire what a fantastic find banner vote on this one also
 
Normally the faces on the obverse of these are more worn than that, that is a pretty stand up example. CONGRATS
 
Nice! A second one! That’s just SPECTACULAR! Way to go!!!
 
Holy moly. Back flips for a week. I mean really, WOW! Banner. With the 2 coins back to back the mods ought to just let u take a picture of both coins in ur hand and then they can just post em up top together. Banner vote going in now.
 
Another stunning coin find.
Congrats
 
You're really having fun, congrats on the latest silver. Great looking buckle you got on the slow morning of detecting.
 
Congrats on another great find. I like to think there are some in the ground here on the Eastern shore of Maryland but the earliest settlement near me wasn't until 1630 and there wasn't really many people in this area until around 1680. I do recall seeing a youtube video where one was found in Maryland but it was so wiped it was probably dropped well into the 1700s. Yours look to have dropped early on. Do Charles I hammered turn up down there?

Sweet digs. Love those hammered coins. If you found 2 coins in that area, chances are good there may be more. Good luck.
 
Very Very nice finds. Enjoyed the video. Looks like you were having a lot of fun, and that's what it's all about. Congrats.
 
Nice coin :headbang: That particular king has evaded me. He's a long way from home.. well done.:icon_thumleft:
