Nice!

Wonder how much buying power these 20 coins had back in the day when they were buried...

Pretty nice finds, thanks for sharing Ilyes. Is it an old home site on the photo?
Belles trouvailles Ilyes, merci.

Rob, the date is in french format, so the find is from today. We french, have the bad habit to put dates as "day-month-year" instead of "month-day-year". I get mixed up each time.
