1716 Duit (My oldest coin!), Counter Stamped Copper, Beauitul Gold Ring,Silver & More

Hello all! I had a great time in Pennsylvania this weekend & saved some interesting pieces of history! On the 2nd day of the trip we secured permission at a beautiful farm that had a 1750 & 1882 home,the fields were also plowed pewter_unk.png crap.png muskets.png pewter.png buttons.png ihs.png new_cois.png toke.png counter.png draped.png slv.png gold.png duit.png The highlights were the 1716 Duit (my oldest coin) & the nice gold ring. I'm also intrigued by the counter stamped large penny, any insight would be great. This was my first time in PA, I was drooling passing all of the old colonial stone houses! I think I will make that trip again!

Oh hell yeah; a great hunt if I ever saw one.
I like 'em all but I REALLY love those rings; especially the GOLD one. How old do you suppose it is and do you know what kind of stone that is?? It definitely looks pretty oldish to me.

It's definitely gold, I'm not sure about the stone. It does appear
to be older but not that old, the 10K mark is later.
