russian 2 kopek coin (picture added)

[hessian raider]

I managed to scan a picture of the copper I found. I got this at a site in northern hampshire county; dating back to at least 1844 according to cadestral maps of the area. depth was roughly 4-5 inches. This coin was minted during the reign of Alexander I, 1801-1825. This is easily one of the best sites I've found, but very difficult to get to. It took me 3 tries to find this site, and the terrain is very rough.

Re: russian 2 kopek coin

believe it or not, that is cleaned up. That stuff that looks like dirt is the remnants of copper cladding. The soil isn't kind to coppers here.
