Fantastic field finds ! Your 1738 KG II is the Best in Jersey . Our gang here in Cape May Co. find KG 's all day but never that detailed . Facing right is a KG I dump flan farthing with 1718 being the year of only ONE known.
Early US Liberty Caps and Draped Bust Cents and half cents are always a welcome find , you did well .
More than likely the 1799 is a 96 or 98 , with 1799 being "extremely rare " . If it is a 1799 you are talking substantial value in the tens of thousands $$$. I am Looking for the GW button ...... but I do not see it :dontknow: friendly warning be careful posting up picture info , remove the pic properties and details by editing in your pic Gallery ............. I have lost three sites because of too many trespassing jerk 's moving in on the private properties . Welcome

that's the stuff we all dream about! Keep us posted on the date of the "1799" large cent. As CMD wrote, it could be worth 4 figures (depending on condition) if it really is 1799.

PS, the coin to button ratio is staggering. I often find 10 to 20 buttons per copper, so that ratio is off the charts!

Thanks guys for all the kind posts, yea I'm a little shocked about finding all this here, the GW button is the last picture its light, I found a second with better detail, is says long live the president with GW in the center, I"ll try to upload a bigger picture later. I did quite a bit of reading about the pictures and the sight before posting, all the pictures posted were taken in my home but thanks for the tip,
