Nice Digs indeed, not sure but think the cooper is French, looks similar to one I have. But again no expert, that would be my guess, CONGRATS

Old, but not 1600s. French 6 Deniers Circa. 1710-1712 (N mint - Montpellier)

Nice copper there Mattysee. I've never dug a French copper before. 1600s....early 1700s...its all old from what I can see. That ball button seems to be a good indicator of the site age.

You'll see those ball buttons start to show up around 1820 or so, great indicator of the age of a good site.

I was thinking of the blowhole buttons instead of the ball buttons...although I thought the ball buttons were older as well.
