Well, where do I begin. It's late in the 4th quarter, time running out, snow storm is on its way, season coming to a close. Figured I'd ask the head of the household(my girl) if she minded if I hit my hot spot for a couple of hours. With her permission I headed out in the light rain. last big find that blew me away at this site was teh (banner) 1737 Spanish Pistareen. Figured I couldn't top that one. I headed to an area, that I had skimmed over in the past. Was digging a lot of pull tabs and clad. Then hit an iron patch. Found a huge half horseshoe, and a few other horse type iron artifacts, always a good sign. Then Dug a 1895 IH. A few more pull tabs and soda caps, then another IH 1897. Started to rain a bit more and I was a muddy mess. Dug a rusty nail and said to myself, I can't go out this way. Then got a 2" .5 cent, Ring signal. Dug the plug expecting to see the silver looking pull tab and there it was, a large copper. Couldn't believe my eyes. Stuck it in my prescription plastic tube(for special artifacts) and called it a rap. Figuring it was a British King George halfpenny, I was baffled when I began to see a wreath after cleaning the dirt away. Put in on "what is it" and low and behold "hammered" posted the ID.
Scottish, 1692 William II and Mary II (1689-1694), Copper Bawbee, laureate draped bust left, rev., crowned thistle, NEMO•ME•IMPUNE•LACESSET•1692
I just can't believe it.
I first want to thank my girl, because without her patience I would not have been out to the site this morning.
Second, I want to thank my girl again for the patience since I have been home working on getting the ID while on the phone with her father. At one point I had two friends on two different phones at the same time.
Fourth, I want to thank HAMMERED, for putting an ID and meaning behind this very special coin. I can't wait to research the history of this coin to imagine how it could have made its way to Mass.
Thanks you all for looking.
