About a month ago this site I had my eye on went under construction. I abtained permission and started digging my heart out. Over a foot of soil was removed and uncovered scores of historical artifacts. The best find among three are a 1600 silver spanish coin, a 1798 large cent and an 1812 stamped Eagle Plate buckle. This is located in the Hudson Valley......Ulster County
I'm not sure of the type of coin the silver one is, can anyone help me with this one?image, image, image, image, image,

The 1812 large cent was found 2 weeks earlier in Rhinebeck, my friend Tom had gotten permission for the Schylur House, he found a 1699 farthing there. image, image, image
This is the 2nd 1798 large cent image, image, image, Connec Copper image, image, image, image, super flat 1804 half cent before I rubbed it. image, image

    Whoa, Nellie! image

    That's the kinda site I wanna hit!

    That is a SWEET belt plate! You suck!

    Dude, you gotta give us some closeups of those coins and buttons!

    Your coin appears to be Spanish, from the cross on the back, but it could be from a couple of Western European countries. That picture is way too small to be of any help in ID'ing. At the very least, I need a transcription of some of the lettering.

    Wish, I was out east
    Wisconsin is not a good place to look for Coins from the 1600's, 1700's, or 1800's for that matter

    Hey, you added bigger pix! Thanks!

    I tell you, those pictures made my greedy li'l heart go thumpin'!

    But I still don't see a closeup of the silver piece you want ID help with?


    Oh, PS-

    FANTASTIC!

    Since "you suck" is considered a high compliment on these forums (as in, "Oh, man, you make me jealous"), I have to say...
