Detector(s) used
Discovery 3300, AT GOLD, ACE 250
Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
For my job we are currently tearing down old building that used to be near a store site, so Asked my boss if I could bring the detector one day and took my discovery 3300. I had a hit about 89 and it went to 94, and out was this. In the silver pile it went. 20160326_153135-1.jpg20160326_153406.jpg20160326_153140.jpg20160326_153146.jpg20160326_153152.jpg

Yeah its a fugasi and also it isn't colonial .....if my US history knowledge is correct by 1795 they were called states.
 

A FRIEND OF A FRIEND FOUND 3 REAL ONES UNDER A GRANITE PORCH SLAB TO A CELLAR HOLE IN CT. LIKE 3 YRS AGO
GUY DOES NOT POST -NEVER DID - BUT MY FRIND WENT OVER GUYS HOUSE AND HELD THEM - HIS WERE REAL
 

I will never make an absolute determination based on photographs, but this looks like a copy. Look at the shape of the eagle's head.

This would make it 3 incredible finds in the state of Kentucky.
