Todays King George Coppers and stuff (George's PICS ADDED)

Myself and three of my hunting buddies got out to two farm field sites for about four hours today. We got a total of 6 coppers. George got 3 and I got 3. One of mine has zero detail. Of the other two one is 1726 (I think)and the other 1750 something. Also a bunch of buttons between us. I'm gonna try to clean em up later on today. My buddy George's coppers we could'nt get much detail from. Maybe after a light cleaning. The 3 tine fork part is pretty heavy. Also one of my buttons has a nice design to it. The wife and kids are out for the day (cheerleading competition) so I'm gonna grab a quick bite to eat and head out for some local cladding. Happy hunting all.

Looks like you got a good site there! I love to see George peeking out of the hole...crusty or not it's a great find!

I guess what makes those coppers so beautiful is that they're so ugly! It's a bonus when there is any identification on them; nice finds, as usual!

Great job on the coppers and it looks like you have some nice little early 1700s buttons there too.

Great finds Mike---That was a good hunt for sure.
Do you know what that little ball with the Eyelet on top is? I found one like that last week---Made out of copper I think.

Merf. I believe that is a button. I've seen a few posted on this site like that before.

Thanks for the info EV---It is the first I have found.

Also like the ball button and the v-shaped doo-dah in the right corner, any ideas on what it is? Nice!

Not sure but it appears to be a piece of somekindabuckle.

It's another ball button.
Cyas, Mike

Thanks for the info Mike---Any Idea how old those ball buttons are?

Sorry Merf I don't know. I can say we seem to find them more on 1700's sites. A couple years ago I found a real nice 1736 KG copper and two of those ball buttons at the same site.
Take care, Mike in NJ
