Four Coppers in an Hour

[romeo-1]

Had a little time this evening so hit a site right behind my house...always productive and today was more than decent. The Indian Head and the Canadian LC should clean up nice. The other two coppers are older and more gone...but I can see a ship on one so should be able to ID them both. Will update when known. Thanks for looking!

Those canadian largies had such better metal than the US. Ours always come out looking like junk.

Lovin the Canadian LC.

But I have to admit my first thought when looking at the pictures was, my parents had that exact incense holder. (Yes, they smoked wacky weed.)

Nice finds! On the ship design, I'm guessing a Trade & Navigation halfpenny token or a 1790s Liverpool halfpenny. The brass top might be from a writing set for a quill holder or sander.

Nice mitt full of coppers, well done.
I'm torn between an incense burner lid, or a candle snuffer

Whats that bit of brass - incense burner?

 

[romeo-1]

Pretty site that the brass cone is an incense burner lid...circa 1970s. This site I was on had a house there until the 1970s as well as a couple older sites.

Nice collection of old coppers. Incense burner lid to add some hippy coolness.

Very nice digs Romeo. I've always wanted to find one of those ship coppers

Very nice collection of old coins and relics!

Nice score on the coppers. Averaging an old copper every 15 minutes is pretty wild!

Way to go! Nicely done!
