Went to a colonial site with a buddy today. We have been here a few times in the past. Right off the bat Aaron was pulling coppers. Two nice K.G.'s. I came up with all kinds of colonial stuff but the coins eluded me. When were almost ready to roll I hit a copper. Turned out to be a 1785 Vermont.
Not sure what variation it is though?

Re: Vermont Copper

Don - I can read just about every word on the darn thing but the Vermont part. Don't know if it has the "TIS" or just "TS"?

1785 Ryder 2 VERMONTS variety I am fairly certain after comparing the plow, the date and my crossed eyes ;)

You did great. Looks like you guys found a tavern site. I really like the Vermont. Nice barrel tap also. Definitely tavern. Now Milk it.

We were saying that earlier, being a Tavern site. Six coppers found there so far. KG's, Hibernia's and the Vermont.

Don is it my vision or is the plow larger on the R3 & 4?

The space between the 1785 and the bottom of the plow is too close on Ryder 3 and I believe on Ryder 4 too far (maybe) but the Ryder 4 has the right sun beam almost pointing at the letter P, on the other varieties it is more off center pointing a bit between the P and U
