<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3614679, member: 10461&quot;]Several high grade 1798 S-166 coins have been dug around here, leading me theorize that a keg must have been shipped into one of the nearby coastal GA ports (Brunswick, Darien, or St. Mary&#039;s),&nbsp; sometime around the turn of the 18th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>My local friend Billy also dug a very nice 1798/7 cent out of the same hole with a contemporary counterfeit 1775 British halfpenny.</p><p><br /></p><p>For some reason, all of the sharp Draped Bust cents I&#039;ve seen found around here by my friends are 1798s.&nbsp; I&#039;ve not seen any other dates, personally, though I&#039;ve heard rumors of a sharp 1794 Liberty Cap cent being found on one of the islands.</p><p><br /></p><p>(The only DB cent I&#039;ve personally dug was not so lucky in the preservation department, and was too corroded to ID except by type.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I <i>have</i> seen a 1794 <i>half</i> cent found by another digger, who was my first detecting tutor.</p><p><br /></p><p>Only two pieces of Draped <i>silver</i> have come up that I&#039;m aware of.&nbsp; One was an 1807 dime and the other was an 1806 quarter or half (I forget now).&nbsp; I&#039;ve heard rumors of a second DB dime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
