Today was a good hunting day with no wind.
So i dicided to give my Deus a swing.
I find a lot coins but the where in verry bad condition.
I still did some good finds in the morning.
The finds:
A piece off an cannonball 16/1700.
Unfortunately not in one piece.
Duit Holandia 1766.
Duit Frizia 1686.
The coins are named after our province.
A small , we call them here in Dutch zakheilige( A pocketholy)
People in the early days carry them in there pockets for protection.
Its from 18/1900.
16/1700 are made from copper.
And the round lead disc between the muskets is a discweight 16/1700.
Unfortunately no marks on it.

Well this is it.
Hope i typted correct.

Greetings from the other side.

Some the artifacts people are finding are fascinating (for me, especially those relating to Colonial and Early America).
