Colonial house site finds

[BomberJohn]

Went out yesterday with my buddy Jason to a colonial home site that is being converted to a local gas company's corporate office. Luckily,Jason has an "in". So, We got to detect it. Here are my two best finds for the day:

First, a 1781 King George counterfeit Irish Half Penny:

Secondly, a nice 1883 Indian Head Penny:

I also found a nice (coin?) silver teaspoon with the name "Alice" engraved in it. The maker's mark is R.R. CONN. I assume a Connecticut silversmith.

Thanks for looking.

Sweet Irish copper. I found one in November 2007.

I like those Irish Georgies!

I have no idea why we don't dig any Irish coppers in our area of PA. It is confusing. Your copper held up nicely to the soil. Keep at that site and hit it at every angle that geometry will allow.

Keep the passion high!
