Thread: 2 Hammered silvers today

    2 Hammered silvers today

    Hey diggers,
    It was a great day for detecting. Cloudy skies and 55 degrees! I was detecting a new section of woods at the siege site and was lucky enough to get 2 silvers today. I was happy to get another King Leopold (hog mouth) Kreuzer dated 1698 and another Kreuzer from the Free City of Konstanz (these coins were not dated but were minted between 1657 and 1705). I'm also showing you the map I'm using to figure out where to detect. Thanks for looking and happy hunting, Dave.
