Hi all got out to a site that was nice and secluded and a long but fun hike. It was a virgin site (rarer than hen's teeth) and rather neat. Usually cellars I find that are this small are rather shallow with minimal walls. But this hole was about 10 feet square and a nice deep hole with what must have been a small porch in the back of the home; always amazes me how these settlers lived 200 plus years ago. The signals were plentiful and the Indian's as usual rang up erratically. A nice variety of finds covering all the major categories. But I'am stumped on the coin; it's toasty and what I think is the obverse is shown with the best pic I could get( reverse is complete toast). It also rang up with a low vid so is it a counterfeit? Unfortunately it is clipped where is what looks like a date ...76??? The bust is facing left but it just doesn't look like a CT copper. Max had fun, but was bored stiff after 3 hours and he ate all my granola bars.. oh well he's good company.

very nice finds. The '59 Indian is one you don't see too often. I hope someone can ID the copper, looks like an old one. Congrats.

Thanks all... I seem to find more Fatty's than regular Indians at these sites. Yes I really hope someone knows what the copper might be.

Any ideas on this coin?

He put the Britannia the right way but without the Obverse, I'm still going to say Will III Halfpenny.

it's a Connecticut or Vermont. Reads INDE.

OK, didn't click on it & take a close look, just guessed based on the general Britannia shape.

Thanks guys I guess it's agreed either a CT or VT copper . The profile just didn't look like a match ; what I can see of it.
