I found these on Sunday in the same 1.5 acre area that I have found 8 other coins in the past 2 months.

Looks like a real nice find - congrats !
I'm thinking it could be a Civil War Token ?
Be careful how you clean it !

*** Just read your Screen Name - looks like your not in the USA ?
If so - I doubt it's a Civil War Token.

Definitely not, it's a 1 grano from 1700. King Carlos II, he was king of Sicily and Spain. It was minted in Palermo. This is my third one, but definitely in the best condition. I've ordered a coin cleaning kit from the UK, designed for cleaning old Roman coins

It's not a 1 grano Carlos II, it's actually a 1 grano Vittorio Amedeo II, minted between 1713-1719. Have to clean it a bit more.

I went back to the same site today and found this but it's smooth. Size, weight and location put end of 1690s to 1700.
