Smokey, I'd be interested to see pics of those coins if you could.

My pics stink. Give me a few minutes. I don't have the proper lighting for macro photography.

 

[smokeythecat]

I just thought about using the digital microscope for the pics...

Not sure by some of the replies whether the OP is asking for the oldest dug find or the oldest CRHing find so my oldest dirtfishing find is a 1722 French 9 Deniers(spelling). My oldest coin out of a roll is a 1879 Indian cent. My oldest out of a bag of coins is a well worn 1816 King George 111 Half Crown. In the same bag were 3 large cents.
