Yesterday I got permission to metal detect on my 10x great grandfathers land which he bought in the 1640s. The land had stayed in the family for generations.

It’s been an absolute dream of mine to possible find some relics my ancestors had dropped. I found some buttons, a shoe buckle frag, and some other odds and ends.

I got an iffy signal on my Nox 800 but decided to dig it. I saw the size and how thin it was so I immediately started looking for Liard De France. Sure enough I was holding a French Liard (1655-1658).

Absolutely amazing my 10x great grandfather could have dropped this coin!
