Superb 1697 William111 Shilling...Scarse..

[Silver Searcher]

Got out this afternoon for a short hunt, and went to were I found the Gold Stirrup ring As I drove down the narrow country lane I could see the tracktor sowing the field

This area is incredibly quiet, but can yield some nice coins and of course this is were I found probably my best find, today was no exception,not much was showing and by the first two hours all I had was a Vicky sixpence and a few mustket balls.
I moved to the area were the Gold Ring came from and started to grid the area, but again just the odd bit of lead showed feeling a bit dis bondant I decided to head towards the car, at the top of the field it was much flatter, and a area were some Turf had been was freshly ploughed and the soil very sandy, my first run down I got my second Silver a William1V this is my second W1V sixpence in two weeks, never had one before that

I started on the second run of this area and soon had a low tone signal, I dug down a fair way and the William111 Shilling lay on the soil this is with out doubt the best I have dug and it's a scarce type(Y below bust) York mint... it books up to £700 in ef in my 2008 Spinks

This is my Fifth William111 shilling this year but this by far the BEST

Thanks Will I have just been checking on the UK finds data base, there are no recordings of a William111 shilling York Mint

Jeff dug a William Shilling a few months ago at the "honey hole" but I don't think it had a "Y" mintmark. From the ones we looked at, I never recall seeing a York Mint.

Beautiful Coin and definitely a banner find, just on its merits as a William III Shilling that's in great condition, let ALONE it also has the "Y" mintmark! Those two things

together make it a GRAND SLAM!!!
