Long time finds. Silver and buttons. Good to hunt again.

Snow, after snow after snow, and then work piling on I haven't been out to hunt much. Here are a few of my finds from when I was able to get out

Beautiful pieces of silver! Love the two quarter-cut pieces especially. (And is that a swastika carved onto the face of that capped bust? Weird)

I can understand the pull to hunt. Look at all those cool finds. I can only dream. Congrats.

Yeah that's what I was thinking underminer, but it's more of a plus sign the tips are centered, like someone tried to make a spanish coin out of it.

 

[UnderMiner]

Interesting, I bet you're right. Someone was trying to emulate the look of a Spanish silver. In my opinion this defacement makes the coin's history a little bit more interesting, almost a look into someone's thinking back then. Maybe the coin was owned by a disgruntled Spaniard who didn't like the new American nation and so he would deface all the coins he got with the Spanish cross.

Great looking silver! Hope I can find some cut silver tomorrow, finally getting out after 2 months. HH!

what are those piece shapped like a piece of pie?

Fantastic silver finds! Congratulations!

 

[eyemustdigtreasure]

Way cool finds! Congratulations!!
I think the (pervious) capped bust owner, was thinking on making bits (change) - the center of mass seems to be at that point. of the intersection of lines...?

 

[Klclark3]

They made bits out of american money? Thought it was mostly spanish? (Sorry for my unlearnedness.) But that sounds pretty reasonable more I look at it.

Very nice grouping of silver, liking the cut pieces.

 

[dirtlooter]

Nice coins. What part of KY you hunt?

 

[Klclark3]

Probably around your neck of the woods.

 

[bentdiggin]

Cool. Maybe I'll run into you sometime.
