Got out today with Rick (NS) to check out a few fields and cellar holes that we were recently given permision to hunt. Rick was up by 2 coppers and a musket ball to my zip, I was starting to feel a little inadequate and decided to head back toward the car and hunt down there when BAM, I got a crystal clear silver dime signal. Dug it out and wow, a 1677 french sols, I think it is a 4 sols so I nead a little help here with weight and dimentions.

I picked up a few coppers later in the day and some other goodies plus on small peice of a tiny silver spoon. Rick killed it on the coppers that's for sure.

Just got my power back on.

The picture came out nice. AWESOME SILVER !

I got the copper with the shield figured out, and a nice button surprise.

What a hunt.

Any 1600s silver is a great find. There no doubt is many more of those to be found because by 1679 in New France there was so many they were used for payment by the bagful.
