That's the stuff that keeps me going! 2 questions and a comment...


You must have some good relics too, early military buttons?

Have you ID'ed your CT? Some can be extremely valuable.

The 1723 George I is a halfpenny.

I haven't properly ID'd the CT copper but your right I should.

I'm glad you like the videos there fun to make. I've got two new ones out this spring.

I'm with this forum a little more then a year it's been great.

I would say so considering the super rare, even if dug, can be $10,000+

It looks like your coin is in pretty good shape so should be able to be ID'ed. I'm going to be pretty tied up the next little bit but if you post good clear close up shots of both sides I can ID it

It certainly looks like you've had a lot of fun digging up the oldies. A silver reale is high on my wish list. Keep up the good work.
