1652 OAK TREE SHILLING NOE-3 'VERY RARE'

Hi All, I haven't been out hunting lately, got a couple snowstorms up here in NH, and it's been cold & windy :-\
Yesterday, I braved the weather and returned to the site where I found my Pine Tree Shilling. within 10 minutes I found another Mass Shilling! This looks like an Oak Tree, it was setting just under the surface among the rocks, tree side up. as with most of my surface finds, the side facing up is toasted, I can still see the "M" of Masathvsets, and a few of the spikey branches. The Reverse is a little better, date & XII clear,
(which isn't the minting date, for political reasons, most Mass coinage used this date from 1660-1690, I think the Oaks were 1670s)
you can read about this interesting story here: http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinContents/Contents01.html
Anyone know what this toasty 22mm Copper might be?
thanks to Dwayne Suehno for the Woods Hibernia Farthing ID :wink:
Well, Just shows there's quite a few of these old silvers left out there!
A Big Thanks To Mike at WWW.WOODLANDETECTORS.COM , Without his help I wouldn't even be Diggin!
HH Everyone! Herbie. :hello:

Re: Another Mass Shilling!! OAK TREE

That's just unbelieveable Herbie!!! To find 2 ultra rare coins like that on back-to-back hunts is totally unheard of. Like your first one, your latest find has an interesting patina and/or corrosion that I haven't seen on silver coins before. I haven't checked, but I assume the silver composition of Mass coinage is the same as other silver coins of that period. Again, outstanding find and you definitely got a banner vote from me. Now get out there and find #3. Oh, and by the way, was this an early homesite that you researched, or did you just happened to come across this place by accident? Regardless, you definitely put yourself in the right spot. Good luck to you!
