5 Copper day, buttons, and ticks (updated pics)

[93vector]

Got out in the woods for a couple hours today....happy to find some old copper, unfortunately they are pretty smoked.

2 are Large cents, one of which was obviously "redesigned" by someone a long time ago using some form of a punch??

I believe one is a King George or similar type coin.

I have no idea what the other 2 are that are pictured together.

The last pic is of 2 buttons with the buckle.

And, sadly today will be my last day in the woods until it turns cold again. I found several deer ticks on my pants....I have already had one bout with Lyme disease and once was enough! The snow cover didn't give me much time this winter

One of the Large cents cleaned up better than I thought....1803

thanks for looking!

Nice digs...one lookslike it has a Harp on the back.If it has a crown on top it is from England.If it doesnt it might be a colonial coin minted in NH.Deer ticks are a pain all us New Englanders wish we could do without.

I think you might be right about the harp, I noticed that earlier but was not sure how to narrow it down

Nice different style buckle and the Inde Et Lib copper most likely a Conn Copper 1785-1788 and the Harp is a KGII or KGIII Irish Halfpenny. Can't help on the duo group.

PERMANOME (acvtive ingrediant you look for is: Permethrin) spray for clothing, spray the socks, boots, pants inside and out, save that clothing just for detecting, it lasts awhile. The supplier I got mine from Walmart, no longer seems to carry it, but Dick's Sporting Goods, has a similar spray can for clothing ONLY. It works, however, big ticks, the ones easy to spot, seem to scurry right over the clothing, but the small ones usually repel and/or die from the treated clothing. You still have to be careful, nothing is 100% effective.

Seems to be very hard to find right now, but on Cabela's web site their is a similar product, same active ingrediants, I might have to order from them if I can not find a local source.

The downside of the sprayed clothing is if you wear in warm weather and sweat, the spray may give you a rash....
