That big coin is not silver.
Should be browned.
No Greek silver dated 1878.
Looks like you guys did alot of diggin,Cool plane and nice date on that coin.You guys really cleaned up on the grey matter.I woulda liked seeing Craig...Looking like a fool with his pants on the ground...
It may be bronze as many coins from that era were.
The water was inviting today and finally coaxed me into trying out my new/rebuilt gauntlets!!
Right sleeve had two pin holes and that seems to be the only problem. They were nice and comfy in the 40 deg. water until I got deep enough to submerge the pin-holes!!
2 hours/17 targets, all deep, recovered including 3 clad quarters, 3 pennies and one tiny silver clamp on earring about 3/8" OD. (The rest junk!) Lotsa sand!
Mr.DF, Diablo and this Old Hunter enjoyed our outing!!!

You guys did good, like the lead plane and the old coin. Be interesting to see what the old coin is.....
Unbelievable, modern coins with as old as the hills coins...WTG FSAI appears to be a 1878 King George I 10 Lepta , ( Greek )... I think.
Maybe a King George 111, here is a king George 11 - 1747 1/2 cent, 1800s would be more like KG 111 Correction KG 111-died Jan 20th 1820 KG 1V-1762 died Jan 26,1830 KG V -June 3,1865--Jan 20 1936 so if it is a King George coin probably KING GEORGE V PS I am sure those Cellar hole CT guy's would be able to ID that coin, were is Heavy Metal Nut when you need him
