One Target Saves the Day...Old Silver!!!

[romeo-1]

I actually had a couple hours today after my annual physical so I hit the pasture beside my house where I found the clipped Spanish silver last month. It's a big area so I was checking out some areas that I only glazed over. I was finding the typical pasture and homesite stuff until the last target. I increased the sensitivity of my machine and reduced the discrimination and started a slow and steady sweep. I got a decent yet scratchy tone but it certainly sounded diggable. When I flipped it out I thought it was a fishscale (Canadian silver 5 cent) and was happy with that. I blew a little dirt off and saw a crown on one side, consistent with a fishscale but on the other I saw a King and knew it wasn't a fishie! It's an 1836 British Guiana 1/4 Guilder which I had never even heard of...but was glad to dig!

Managed a couple buckles, a keg spigot and the usual brick-a-brack.

No problemo! This is a weird field...very international. So far I have a Spanish silver, a Canadian silver, a British Guiana Silver, a New Brunswick Copper, a Quebec Copper, an Irish copper and an assortment of LCs...

I know there is more there but I'll have a couple back-ups on hand as well. Do you like history?

 

[BuckleBoy]

Great little silver there!

I really think the best find is the sword hanger though.


Cheers,


Buck

PepperJ...I'm always looking for some round iron...still nada. I thought I would have a better chance in this area but not yet. Next hunt maybe!

 

[Iron Patch]

It's always cool to dig that era of silver because it's such an in between period for the popular circulation coins you really never know what it will be. In other words you could get something strange like a 1/4 Guilder.
