Great finds, that Connecticut is beautiful. The plate is really interesting. Never seen those type of attachments before, but I certainly no expert.

Thanks, ive never seen that type of attachments before either, some people think its a belt plate but i think its a cartridge box plate, im also not an expert. HH coop

Congrats on those 3 awesome finds. The 0 mark is quite visible on the Conn. copper. Is that a "Laughing Head"?

Hey Coop, here is your CT copper cropped and combined, a couple affirmatives so far on it being a M.24-FF variety. Not sure of the current rarity rating but at least R5+, used to be a R6, but think it has been downgraded just a tad. Nice coin. Hope someone else can confirm this attribution for you. Don

Some really excellent finds Coop,
Congrats

Thanks Don!!! I agree thats it. I see it listed on most sites as an R7 coinfacts has it at R6 -20 known. Thanks again for the help.
