In total, 11 colonial coppers have been pulled out of this site in the last two weeks and one Spanish 1 Reale (my friend who I brought to this permission found it :icon_scratch:):

Two Draped Bust Large Cents

Hibernia Half Penny
1805-1806

George II
1738

1 Reale
1777

On my most recent outing I managed to pull up what I believe are two more Connecticut State Coppers, but I am not 100% certain as they seem to be different sizes and are very worn. I can just make out --TORI. on one of them so that one probably is. I also found a strange holed button, something that is new to my collection, a William Henry Harrison Log Cabin Campaign Button, two (what I believe are) dropped Brown Bess musket balls, and a couple other nice buttons. The Tombac I found seems to have a silhouette on it but I can't seem to find anything about it - it may just be strange tarnish.

The button which I believe has a silhouette:

An assortment of pewter, brass, and designed Tombac buttons:

Two extremely worn (possibly Connecticut) coppers:

An 1800 Draped Bust Large Cent, back is in beautiful condition, front - not so much:

Very nice. There are a few guys on here that can confirm they're CT's.
