    What an awesome coin! I've never seen on before. That's what we love about metal detecting! You never know what's going to be in the next hole.



    Here are some images of the coin that I took from your video:

    I think that is the oldest Russian coin that I have seen dug here in the states. Looks like a half or a quarter kopek. Nice! That is a very cool clasp!
    Oldest find: 5,000 year old copper spearhead
    Oldest coin: 1699 William III halfpenny
    Purdiest coin: 1832 Capped Bust quarter
    Coolest find: USA button with blue threads still on shank

    I watched the video last night. That Cloak Clasp is an awesome relic! Congrats on the coin! I love the style on those old ones. They just look "old."
