Button and large copper coin

[jdsly]

Hey everybody. Had another fatastic day with Darby hunting a couple of sites. Ended the day with a button that cleaned up really well:


And a 1722 british copper coin. Not entirely sure what it is but have a couple ideas and would like to hear from the experts what it is.HH

Nice coin and it looks like there is still plenty of detail on it.

 

[jdsly]

Yes it does seem to have alot of detail left. Both are nice finds for anyone

You have a nice coin. This is not very rare though, it is only worth between $8-$15.

That's ok we all do it
Great save on the coin I'm sure it's 1772 not 1722
Scouts out!

Nice button, and I can only hope to find an old copper in that condition in the soil we have. Congrats on a couple great finds.
