Not a Bad Draped

[OxShoeDrew]

I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day weekend. I was a childhood musician and now a retired band director so I had the pleasure of marching every Memorial Day Parade since 1971. Yesterday I detected...surprise! I didn't want to show up at permissions on a holiday so this looker (relative) came from public land.

Wow! Nice clear date of 1798…yeah definitely a looker!

Wow, very nice find! And I thought I did good after 3 hunts and finally finding a wheatie. :shocked01: Congrats!

Great looking coin. My Memorial weekend surprise was a detached retina. I think I should have gone detecting. Nice recovery. WD

That is wonderful, Drew! It's crazy that finds like this are still out there on public lands! Clear date and both sides of the coin look equally good.

A 1700s coin is always a great find in my book! :yes:

:congrats:

Thanks, everyone, I appreciate it! I'm sooo sorry WD! How'd you do that?

WTG Drew on a stellar DB!

Love those DBs that crack the 1700's. Nice.
