Doesn't matter its the only 1 find, its a cracker!

Did you find it with your etrac of CTX?

Also, in NY state over the weekend I encountered sandy, almost beach-like sand a few inches under the soil, but only on one of the fields. Is that common up there? I had assumed it had been a man-made beach since it was near a pond.

Good find? That's a great find!

I am voting banner, you just don't see 212 year old coins come out of the ground in that shape, plus being a harder date to find.

Hi, I found it with the ctx, Sold the etrac. It was sandy soil because the field was close to a lake. HH
