Nice find..are you going to post any pics of it once you get it cleaned up?? I am interested in seeing what it looks like.

 

[CHRIS OC]

Will do , like I said front is about shot but the back was alright

 

[DirtAngler]

Nice find. Can you offer some info? What your settings were, what coil, how deep?

Got in a tilled field so wasn't very deep maybe 5-6 inches , coin-jewlery mode , low-trash , 16 on the sencing , rang in at a solid 37. (-:

Great find, breaking through 1800,,,thanks for the stats,too.

 

[GoldHunter80]

Wow that's a really old coin..was there a house in the past that used to be in the general area of where you found the coin?

 

[CHRIS OC]

Possibly , it's in the area of a very old town , settled I believe in the late 1600's
