Headed out this morning with the sun shining and temps in the mid 50's - a perfect day to do some detecting at a colonial site that I found last fall. I've detecting this site a couple of times and based on the lack of signals it is obvious that it has been well pounded before I discovered it. Most high tone signals are rose head forged nails which are plentiful at this site. I got a decent high tone on my T2 SE and I dig all high tones at this site even if it is only a one way signal. I flipped out the shovel full of dirt and see a tiny piece of silver and immediately think that it's a cuff link. I wipe away some of the dirt and see the lion with no lettering - flip it over and see what looks like a castle. Since my eyes are getting pretty bad I put it away to inspect when I got home. That pretty much ended my hunt as it was really raining at this point although I was much happier about stopping for the day with a nice early silver in my pocket.
I found a similar coin on ebay ( link below ) and the seller list it as a scarce coin. Not sure if mine is the same or even rare but I couldn't find a lot on it. Any input on the origin or age of this coin would be appreciated.
