4TH COPPER,SPANISH SILVER & A KNEE BUCKLE

Sniffy called me later in the morning said ya wanna hit that field again?
he hadda twist my arm to get me to go but,i caved in!
a few buttons here and there,dug the same type as i did the other day.flower pattern in oval so,there goes my military hopes on the 1st one.
got a 1941-S Washington,a wheatie 1937,a memorial penny,then i saw mangled plow damaged silver in the hole.was so worn i said to Jessie it's gotta be a spanish half reale(you can make out the last few letters of carolus). got a no date draped bust Large cent,a lead seal and a plow damaged knee buckle.
so sad to see how these farm field coppers come out
any ideas on the green patina'd tool type thing?
this field has given up 5 colonial coppers and 4 silvers so far.gonna keep workin this field for all its worth.

You guys are killing it at that field.

I found a half reale last year that looks just like yours. It's worn smooth and all bent and warped just like the one you found. Strange how they get like that? But, you found Spanish silver none the less and that is something to be proud of for sure !!

Hope the predicted snow tomorrow doesn't slow you guys down. I'm kidding, I have seen your posts, it would take a lot more than a few inches of snow to stop you !!!

Congrats !!

You are always doing it the Colonial way, Dave. That field is a good one. It must be a CT thing with the knee buckles. You guys are even digging them in the fields.

Yes, the field coppers can be bad. I also got 4 so far, all worse than yours.

You got some other nice goodies though.
