Yesterday's finds were mainly of the 17th century variety. The field I detected, is on the edge of a village, that was booming at that time. Over the years it as produced, countless coins and artefacts from that fascinating period. In the picture are a couple of leather fittings. A complete nipple button, these usually come up without the back loop. A simple buckle, and best of all an Irish issue half penny Charles II 1683. You don't tend to find many of this type, so a good find.

Hello RVRoamer66, nice to hear from you. The 17th century is one of may favourite periods, guess it's hip to be square.:thumbsup:
 

Nice copper and nipple button both are smashing examples. Best of luck on digging this fall season Rob.

Those are beautifully designed coins - love the harp design on the reverse. Nice going man ....
 

Your little "museum" of artifacts is so historically COOL! That old coin is certainly AMAZING! Dig the harp on the backside. So cool. Thanks for sharing and continue to tear it up mate!:headbang:
