1723 KG-I after medical attention, buckle part, propellor from 1st Colonial airplane

[port ewen ace]

the King is almost as nice as a 1734, 4 over 3, that I got in non- farm land 3 years ago. this is the nicest copper to come from this farm (about 2 dozen). this field gave me an '09 wheat and 2 FE's back in May. the 3 foot ripper has made this a new field --nice & flat after the harvest. FMERG showed after I called him to get his #*@ here---he nailed a marked buckle. again_____ATPro puts a whuppin' on his MINELAB . I got a .62 roundball, brass flower design buckle tongue --broken 1" X 1/2", a lump of pewter, a pewter button with brass plating--- it was folded over when found. and , finally____the propeller from the 1st ever Colonial airplane--"no eye deer" what it was --- back for more _____________

That looks like silver to me and I would love to have that one!

Reminds me stylistically of the 18th century silver Tudor rose links or buttons. Not saying that's what it is but the engraving is similar

That coin is very nice, but for me that button is the king. That thing is beautiful and I would expect it's every bit as old as the coin. Great find!

well now, golly, gee Jay----I'm blushing---glad you like the button it will be examined by Neil from Colonial Stamp & Coin for his opinion on the metal, guessing low content silver. today was a 2 hour SKUNK, just some old brass hardware .

Nice colonial digs. That is a silver cufflink you got there. And the 1723 KG I is a beauty too. I think 1723 may be the most frequently found date, I have three of them.
