New 1760s permission Colonial Silvers

[1KBlueTuber]

Got on a new permission last night about 40 min before darkness and hit some nice keepers. Believe I found the cabin site while the big 1760s farm house was being constructed. Had all the right indicators with a small unlined depression in the ground with a slight rise within a small stonewall squared section of the property. First 2 targets were big coat buttons, then a shoe buckle frame. Right next to the depression I dug a large 1793 Ecu from France and ten feet from that a holed 1721 King Philip 1 real or pisterine. Last target for the evening was an 1820s era eagle infantry militia button. We’ll see what shows up later this afternoon.

Isn't it rather a 6 Livres coin from 1793? They are the same size I believe, just a different name.

I'm not sure people realize how unusual this find is in North America. Even in France it's far from being a common find as the Revolutionary type coins were made only for a few years. On top of it being a large early silver (two actually), that's like finding 9 Spanish Reales on the same hunt. I do believe it deserves a banner.

Agreed, I voted.
