My oldest coin today, 1705 something, 1755 kg2, what is this copper? Barely make out just. First blowhole button, lots of buttons, 1901 barber dime, 1944 s merc, silver cufflink that I love,

Also I let my best hunting buddy come with me today and he found the nicest flying eagle I have ever seen! And nice tombac with Spanish coin etching, and a kg3 copper, congrats buddy

I think thats a dutch copper. Man would I love to be your hunting buddy on that site
 
The coins are great but that silver link is easily my favorite. That's definitely a copper Duit coin. My gosh that's an incredible site. Dig it all then start turning up the thick iron....then find the trash pit....then keep on digging and digging and digging. That's a nice early site and they weren't poor!
 
Dutch East India company Duit. Nice and early one. Nice early site you have there Crabby! Excellent!

And that one copper mayyy be a William 3rd.

Unbelievable site. Tear it up!!:icon_thumright:
 
I posted this in another one of your threads:

So, what are we thinking is the overall picture of this site? If I'm not mistaken, you found a WW1 U.S. button, modern silver, and all the old stuff. Have you checked any old maps to see what was there historically and more recently? Two CENTURIES of finds is surreal.

There must have been many somethings there over the years.
 
The head was over to the left, and I suspected a similar coin to the W3. I did an overlay and it was a match. I placed them side by side for comparison.

thank you for the id, thats great, can you guess where i will be tomorrow?
 
Really Nice colonial finds!:thumbsup:
 
Get those darn Barbers and Mercs out of the way to punch down to some more colonial goods! Another incredible hunt man...That link is killer and those coppers are sweet. I seriously can't wait to see what tomorrow brings for you. A site like that should produce a lot.... You already know they had $$, so I'd expect you'll be hitting that area for a while.
 
Killer hunt! I love the old coppers and buttons, congratulations! :notworthy:
 
I'm interested in the cast pewter Spanish coin, if its two sided its an early counterfeit.
 
Nice to see you are still in the zone. Congrats on those incredible finds. :occasion14: I really love that FE, it has to be in the best shape of all I've seen posted over the past 3 years.

It's actually a button, it has broke shank on back
