Don where r u. Well decided to hit the colonial field with buddy Jim 1 more time. Well Jim hit the first one 1761 2 reale, well I hit second find. I think its a serpent head NEW JERSEY copper small outlined shield. Kinda toasted but detail still there. And last is a 1/2 cent with lettered edge which would put it between 1793-1797 will get picture of that soon. HH Mark

Mark, congrats on the NJ copper, hmmmmn, you still need Photographing Coins 101 though The copper is not a Serpent Head type, I sometimes wish Redbook would do things a bit different for Colonials, so many think they have found a Serpent Head when in 90% of the time it is something entirely different. If I could see better photos showing all of the coin there would be a better chance of ID the variety, I cannot see anything on the reverse side to help, but the the ear position and plow beam are wrong for it to be a M.54-k variety. Might venture an semi intelligent guess if I saw a tad more detail...
