This was the other coin found by my friend on our colonial site outing last week.
I think he will be able to get the date from it, but it is eithe 1787 or 88.

That's it...I am not sharing my sites anymore .....haha....just kidding Doug!

Tell your friend the coin appears to be a 1788 Ryder 16 Variety. Very Common. I am not 100%(99.9%) certain but I know it is not a 1787 variety of any type.


Tell him also nice find, don't see enough of the Vermont Colonials being found and posted. My son and I each have found 2, total of 4 and 3 of the 4 came from the same field here in South Jersey and one of them was a Rare 1785 Vermont Immune Columbia copper.

There we go. Nice find by your friend. I found one last year but that one is in far better condition than the one I found. Its great to see another Vermont copper being posted. I feel ya on not sharing your sites You're happy your buddy found something but a little down that it wasnt you that found it. Here's a pic of the one I found. Pretty beat up!!

You've got to love those ancient coppas. I would love to get a Vermont coppa in the near metal detecting future.

Get back out there and find more of those buggards.
