3 Coppers & A Flintlock!

The Rebel · Oct 17, 2014

Had the day off from work & went to a new spot. Weather was so much better than the last few days. Boy this was one hot spot!

Got a KGI Hibernia Double Strike Error, CT Copper & a Draped Bust, along with the Flintlock hammer with the flint still in it! Nabbed some more buttons as well.

On the way home I spotted another hole by the side of the road and pulled a pocket spill full of goodies, Standing Liberty, Buffalo Nickel & 3 Wheaties.

HH,

Great coins, but that hammer WITH FLINT . . . Jack, that would make my month!

The lock with the flint still in it is an amazing find, love it!

The last one to touch that flint probably killed a Red Coat with that gun or maybe a Red Coat killed him and this is what's left of a fallen Patriot's gun. That may have belonged to someone who knew the founding fathers themselves and he died to create the country we all live in now! :icon_thumleft:

Great finds, the coppers were very nice to find, the KG III Halfpenny that is double struck is nice, I found one years ago, most likely a counterfeit like mine is. Think mine shows two crowns on the back for the main details that show. BUT, the find of the day is without a doubt the flintlock hammer with the flint still in it! Does not get much better than that for if you are going to find a part of an old gun that it is that piece. Great display and conversation piece of history.

Thanks Don! The hammer is so cool, I only hope I can find the lockplate. I'm pretty sure it came off a Charleville Musket.

Too bad the double struck Hibernia is toast on the reverse. Don't see too many error George coppers, but it is one I have crossed off the list. Double struck (on both sides) Brit Geo. III halfpenny. Also in 'pretty dug' condition, but my only one.
