COLONIAL HOME*1788 CT COPPER & A STRANGE SPANISH LARGE COPPER

rain let up early afternoon and went to a colonial home I obtained permission from yesterday over the phone.
At 1st things were slow with iron,modern clad.
Then got a deep signal near a large maple tree.out popped this weird foreign large copper dated 1855.any ideas on this one? then a 1907 Indian head and a brass put n take spinner toy.
about 10 feet away got another deep signal at 8 inches out popped another copper. this one being a 1788 Connecticut copper mailed bust facing left,both are in great shape and I was invited to come back anytime. these 2 coins makes 49 1/2 large coppers on the year

Congrats on another very nice hunt, cant help you on that "modern" copper ,but a quick look at the books between innings (PhillyvsStLou) it looks like a Miller 12.1-F.1 variety,

thanks Don! somebody on another forum said this below about the spanish copper.
That is a half coin from an area called La Cuadra or "The Block". It is in the La Roija Province of Argentina. It has about 200 people living there.
