I went yesterday before the rain for a quick hunt in a new field and found what at first I thought was a copper coin. Turns out to be what I think is a very large copper button, it has a floral design on the front of it. It was pretty bent and I managed to straighten it pretty good.

I went early today back to the hayfield for a long slow random walk. The wind was blowing steady 40 mph with gust over 50 mph I was bundled up with my winter gear. I found the two buttons and not finding much after three hours, I was on a long squiggly walk back to the truck from the far side of the field. When I got about twenty yards away from the truck I found the harmonica reed piece and then three steps from that I got a good 94-95 signal telling me it was about 6 inches down. I popped the plug and seen what I figured was a Half Cent. I put it in the safe pocket and left. I slowly cleaned and am still in the slow clean process. It looks like I'm seeing 1754 on it, it measures 25 mm and weighs 7 grams. I was trying to find a pic of a early farthing, bust facing right, but I can't find anything. Any help from the experts would be greatly appreciated.
Enjoy the pix
