Hello again, Its hard to start mowing again when you hit a hot lunch streak! First, found this Navy Bosemans whistle, looks old, but not sure if its a repro. Brass or copper. Next out popped what I believe is a Toasted 1773 Virginia Half Penny. I can't make anything out on the front, but the crown or shield is definitely there on the back. Thanks for looking :) Paul:coffee2:

That whistle sure looks like a real deal. Congratulations on some very nice finds!
 

The whistle is an interesting find. The coin looks like it has enough detail that it should clean up nicely. Congrats
 

Very nice old copper, and I like that whistle also.
 

Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Very nice finds! That whistle is cool!
 

It's a "Pipe" not a "Whistle" Arrrggg land lubbers :skullflag:

Very nice half penny and a cool whistle to boot. You had one heck of a hunt. Congrats!

So, you're not going to comment on "Boseman" instead of "Bos'n" (or "Boatswain")? :laughing7:
