Way to take advantage of the opportunity to hunt the torn up area!:thumbsup01:
That's a great find!
Congrats! :grin:
Some of those construction areas can pay off with treasures that have been locked-up underneath concrete or black top for decades (here :envious: ) or in your case centuries! :shocked05:
Great job cleaning it up! I'd probably have a heart attack if I found a coin from the 1600's! :stretcher:
