Boston City Guard Button, Cob, Two Reales, 1672 Farthing

[artyfacts]

Great all day of hunting with, South Jersey Jim and Goldirocks. Worked the night before and was so excited to hunt, I just couldn't sleep. Who needs sleep anyways. The Boston City Guard button was identified by CC Hunter as, MS 53. A super rare button, RV 20. The 1672 Farthing is my oldest known coin. The little Cob was a surprise, I thought it was just another little odd shaped what is it until a little cross shown in the sun, nice. When I dug the Two Reale I thought it was an aluminum plug and tossed it into my pouch not knowing it was a coin. Jim and I went over to see Goldirocks 1 Reale find. After looking at it I said, I just had a heart attack find and showed them my aluminum plug. Jim snatched it out of my hands and said thats a coin, its two Reale. In my defense it came out of the ground thin and very shiny. With no glasses on it looked and felt like an aluminum plug, wakeup... The two decorative watch winders are my favorites with a bust of someone on both sides. The other sporting a cannon, flag and cannon balls on one side and crossed swords on the other. Two clog clasps, a tiny silver dolls fork, assortment of buttons, coppers, Indians, tokens and the kitchen sink.

That's a heck of a haul for one hunt. Outstanding assortment of relics and coins. One thing that I noticed, though, is that the cob has a funny look to it. In the first pic it appears that it might be a little on the flaky side, or maybe I'm just seeing things. Any chance that coin is a counterfeit?

Awesome saves! Congratulations...

 

[SouthJerseyJim]

Bill I saw it in person its 100% real that scan does make it look funny though.

Wonderful saves, all! But, what gets my blood flowing is when a very old coin reveals itself. I guess I'm just an ole coinshooter at heart.

HH!

Thanks Steve. When I realized the cannon was on the one side after cleaning it became my favorite. Love the early stuff...

Thanks Whadifind, I just love seeing the coins come out of the ground. Now I have to find a coin younger then 1672.
