Definitely a large cent. I’m going to go out on a limb and say Lib Cap. It could certainly just be the way it wore but it sure looks like the outline of the Lib Cap variety..

My first thought was a decorative pipe bowl and a real beauty. But I’m no expert. It’s a beautiful piece and I’d be psyched to dig it. What part of Maine are you in?

Killer coin bud! I have a 1734 10 Reis that’s 31mm. They’re an impressive looking copper.

That’s a really nice relic EB! I have a lot of early pewter spoons but none have any design. Just the rat tails and dog nosed type. Well done

That bullhead is a great early silver that I’d love to find. Well done on that hunt

Easy BANNER hunt! Jesus man that’s amazing. I would be hunting the hell out of that area. Crazy early

If you send me a pm before you come up I’ll make sure to put you on a nice early site. This has been an enjoyable post for me. Work has been insane so if I can’t hunt I’m happy to look at very early coins and chat about great sites. Abe

I’ll stop hammering you with questions lol. But I’ve found a couple of trash pits that I sifted with some real surprises. One had a 1680s Farthing in it and also 2 17th Century jetons. A ton of late 17th Century Llewelyn Evans pipe stems were also in there. I also found a trash pit with a bunch...

Good luck out there. Sounds like a great site. Have you found the trash pits there? These early productive sites are such a rare treat.

I don’t disagree with that assessment at all. Congrats on your first 17th Century coin! Have you guys pulled any silver off that site? I’d be taking my time and really digging every little chirp. Any areas you think may be worth sifting?

It may also be a William 3 which would make it 1695-1701. It’s a great find either way....and yes you should be very proud of that being your first 17th Century coin.

It certainly does. And I can tell you that’s it’s quite a feat to find pre 1700 coins in the states. I have a grand total of 5. So a big congrats to you on a great accomplishment

Looks like you may have a William & Mary my friend. That’s a nice early copper if that’s what it is. I’ll take a better look when I get home.

Well I’d call that a BANNER hunt! That’s an incredible day. I have a feeling you’re not done yet. Great job buddy

Well done on taking the time to make a nice presentation piece for the property owner. I have permission for the oldest settled property in my town (1660s). This family is extremely wealthy and very very private. I have only hunted it a few times and refuse to bother them more than once or twice...

Killer spot man! That button is a beauty and it’s awesome to get a little bit of everything from an early site

Well done Professor. Great job pulling the goods out of a tough spot. I admire the people that hunt these spots that have been hammered for years. Much more talented than a guy like me that goes great distances into the woods to find old sites that haven’t been hunted.

Toasted do you know how many seated silvers you’ve found over the years? I’m guessing it’s a staggering amount. Well done

Well done! I so enjoy finding shoe buckles. They are so unlike anything modern

Man that capped silver is gorgeous....and an incredible act. Doesn’t get much better than that my friend.
