Go Up Go Down

From the land of the Bluenose....was one of those days where the wind would rip right through you. In other wordss a good day to detect.

Left early after making the boss breakfast in bed and hit a few places in Halifax.  The first school yard I hit yielded 50 coins in no time flat so I thought I'd wander down to one of the old spots that I have hammered for years along the far side of the harbour. Here the first target turned out to be a musket ball and the second...............made my heart stop.    Not quite sure if it is Spanish or French but mister man was the old ticker a pumping!<center>[img width= height=]http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cc23b3127cce8f94f880a5ef00000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2[/img]</center>

Carefully cleaned her off a bit and took a few photos of her on the hood of Goquicksi when still shaking,  returned from the path.  Here is one side.<center>[img width= height=]http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cc23b3127cce8f94f88aa5e500000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2[/img]</center>

And here is the other.<center>[img width= height=]http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cc23b3127cce8f94f888a5e700000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2[/img]</center>

Any help on identifing this coin would be appreciated.

Any way the take for the day was this coin, small silver ring,an action figure,game zone token musket ball and 67 coins @$2.76<center>[img width= height=]http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cc23b3127cce8f94f88f24d000000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2[/img]</center>

I also nominate that as the find of the month- even though we still have a few weeks to go yet. That's going to be hard to beat.

Awesome! Hope it's authentic and worth a lot. Sure proof that it pays to return to spots again and again! Sue
