1826 Spanish copper - probably made into a Concho (It's a start)

Very long Winter here, and still lots of snow, but a spot here and there to try, and it's opening up fast.

That's a great start in my books...beats my crusty IH penny found on my first land hunt of the year...I do fully expect to best that on Saturday!

I have a few ideas up my sleeve so you may have to do better than that!

 

[Iron Patch]

Cool Find IP ! Any idea whether it may have been intended as a button ? (I guess it could be both )

I had no idea until someone suggested concho, and I looked at some made from coins and they are made the same way.

Yes, it will be a small part of what sucks that yankee dollar North.

What is the bet again? Making a top 10 to be voted on? I'm so confident I can't even remember.

Lol you don't lack confidence....I suppose any grown man from Canada that would wear a red white and blue spandex suit best have some confidence.

I should be confident, you used all your luck last Fall and now you're back to just being a 2nd ra8 digger.

[WildWildBill]

Wow! Now how odd is that? When not useful one way is useful in another.
