Unknown worn copper, button and thimble

[harpooncc]

Hey all,

Was able to get out for first time in a while and it did not disappoint. Was also able to introduce a friend to the hobby as well. We found a cellar hole that surprisingly did not seem to be hunted already. Anyway I got a very worn copper, a treble gilt gold colour button and a thimble. I cannot Id copper, but posted some pics in case anyone might be able to. I think I see lettering...

Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

If that thimble cleaned turns out to be Sterling, you may find the maker's mark.

Sometimes if you take some mineral oil and rub it on lightly then turn the coin at a slight angle you can pick up some details.

That thimble has some age! Looks hand punched holes?

Cru read my mind, that thimble you found is an early one Harpo.
It could easily be 200 years old, here's an interesting site for dating thimbles... https://sites.google.com/site/thimbleidentificatio/home/metal-thimble/copper-alloy-thimble

Thank you! I will definitely look into. It’s funny because I have been so focused on trying to identify the coin and haven’t really looked into thimble.

And yet even more incredible finds here in Mass- I'm planning on moving south in a few years when I retire, I may have to reconsider! GL going forward!
