Hey Diggers,
We've been finding a lot of coins from the 1600's and 1700's at the siege site. They are generally 8 or 9 inches deep and ring up very faint or choppy. Most of the time they are so faint the XP Deus doesn't show any numbers on the display. The two 1656 French Liards were only a couple inches apart so most likely a spill. The two French Sols I found were about 50 feet apart. One is dated 1720 and the other is too corroded to see the date. I was working around a log and got a screaming 93 signal that sounded fairly shallow. It was a tight signal so I thought it might be a coin. Imagine my surprise when I cut the plug and saw the rim of a dime! A 1958 Rosie! So here I am in the middle of the woods digging 300 year old coins and out pops a 1958 dime. Perhaps an American hiker passed through there or maybe a U.S. soldier on maneuvers back in the early 1960's.
