[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7806912, member: 10461"]That is AMAZINGLY nice for a beach find! WOW. Sucker was UNC when it hit the sand! I'm amazed the surfaces stayed so nice in that environment. Must've been well above the tide line, I'll guess. My oldest dug Indian is the 1868 I mentioned. So nicely preserved it almost didn't look like a dug coin. Crazy-shallow, too- like only half an inch down. It was next to the slave cabins at an old plantation site on St. Simons Island. Oh- wait- there's also a crusty-critter I dug that [I]might[/I] have been an 1864 bronze. Hard to say for sure.[/QUOTE]
