Plantation ruins

[Lloydd]

found a few items on a friend's property in the Turks and Caicos Islands. I am leaving them with him who is a founding member of the TCI National Trust, so will hopefully have a good home in the museum. Also could use help in determining the use of the hook found on a plantation site, and age of axe head. Thanks for looking. Lloyd

Thanks for the replies, I am on North Caicos, the coin is very thin and little detail, there seems to be some leaf or floral design and possibly a fleur de lis on one side and some numerals which appear to be 1598, The design around the edge are short lines or dashes that radiate from the center. The border design runs off the coin on both sides as a result of it not being centered. I don't have my coin book here to research from. Lloyd
