Wow, what an amazing find! That is just jaw dropping. Like someone else mentioned, sell the detector because it doesn't get better than that! Are you located in Massachusetts? I see New England in your post. Congrats!
I just want to thank all of you for your comments/views all 4,000 of them while I have yet to be struck by lighting twice, I still go to that spot from time to time in hopes of finding one more..............................................
I've been watchin' this string for a while now, and IMHO... I gotta say... this has got to be one (if not the best) posts that I've ever seen on FMD. It's the ultimate (stateside) find of a lifetime!!!
The absolute best dig I've seen so far... and the ultimate eye-popper!
You are the "Sir Lancelot at th' round table of coil swingers", BC!
I knew a lady coin dealer that used to buy foreign coins by the pound. She sold them at her booth at a local Flea Market for ten cents apiece. She found a Pine Tree Shilling in a bag of foreign coins. I guess no one knew what it was and it got placed in with the foreign coins. Knowing your coins can really be rewarding.
This post was before I joined so only seen it now after someone linked to it.... and yes that's a great one! An online friend found an Oak Tree Shilling in Upstate NY about 8 years ago.
Even though I'm not anywhere near New England I have dug many cobs, and always had the dream one of those could turn up.
