    Great finds and pics! Looks like about 200 years of history on this post. I wonder what the (1/2?) real was used for. Looks like it was meant to be stitched into something. If only they could invent a machine that would make coins talk! Thanks for sharing and HH, Dave.
    Oldest Coin: 100-60 BC Gallic bronze coin (Sequani Tribe)
    Oldest Silver Coin: 1156 hammered Pfennig from (now) Bavaria
    Oldest U.S. coin: 1805 Draped Bust Large Cent
    Best Coins EVER: 1625 4 Sols from Kingdom of Chateau Renaud, France
    1662 15 Kreuzers, Leopold I, Austria
    Best Relics: Bronze Age Arrowheads & Spearhead, 2c Roman silver ring, complete medieval knight's spur (x6)

    Wow Dave you've been busy! Congrats on all the amazing finds. What's your theory for all those holes in the Real? I've never seen that before. Was it used as a button?

    Slacker! You even slacked on the write up. Lol. Gahh. I'm still annoyed Dan pulled that GW from that site with the stone steps built into that retaining wall. (J.Worthington) and you guys pounded it before I had a chance to return there. Nice finds tho, Davey.

    Nice assortment of finds Dave. A Reale made into a top of a colonial salt shaker. At least that's what came to my mind first! Love the CW store token as well. Quite a unique find.
