Mystery copper ID'd 1796 portsea (Hampshire) copper. Thanks Neil
Got out today to a new place and got the 2 center within 5 miniutes of detecting, I was feeling good. Then I popped out this holed large copper(need help with ID) I can make out a few numbers in the date, it appears to be 1790. Has a ship on the back and on the front is a rider on a horse stomping a serpent spitting flames, just awesome. Any ideas? Then near the end of the day I finally got the elusive reale it was on edge almost directly under an old screw cap 8" down. I still have a smile on my face. Thanks for looking.
