Nice! Congratulations on the 3 Cent piece. :clapping: :smitten:
That's a great coin to find. Sitting next to the Wheat cent, you can really see how small it is.
The buttons are nice keepers too. :yes:
 
Very cool finds! I really love the 3-cent silver! Such a tiny coin. Nice recovery, Dave!

Pretty cool finding a three Indian Head pocket spill too! thumbsup01
 
:congrats: on the trime Dave :cheering: :cheering: hey the colonade stamp is on the back of the pewter spoon handle ?? right??

Nice job on the silve Dave. What do those ring up as? I'm curious since i never found one lol

hey Brandon , they ring out a little higher than shotgun shells on the dfx , and vdi (depending on depth and angle they were laying) from +38 to +48 but i agree they are so tiny i at first mistook them for a buttons as well.
 
Another great keeper for you. The 3 cent silver or any 3 cent coin is very high on my wish list. :congrats: They sure are a tiny coin. Very nice hunt.
