If you measure it that could give people some more Idea's I don't know coins but maybe large cent?

It measures 1 3/16" , I compared it to a large cent and the large is smaller . What else would be copper other than a large ? I'm new to this ad will be buying a coin book soon .
Thanks for the help !

Does this pic show a little bit more helpful detail , the swirling patterns seem different of American coins ??

It almost looks like a frog holding onto a stick.....

If you look hard enough, you could probably get almost any design out of that.

Looks like you've scrubbed it pretty hard. Any pictures of it before the heavy cleaning?

Could POSSIBLY be a Hibernia halfpenny, but no way to know for sure.

Try to measure it in mili meters then goggle search the size. It may help widdle it down with tje little details you have to work with.

Before I scrubbed it it was just black with no visible markings at all , ok thanks for all the help , Hibernia Wow !!!!

Lay a piece of paper over the top, and rub a pencil over it lightly. It may draw out more details of the coin...

Great idea thanks

Or wipe the surface lightly with corn starch.
that sometimes fills the low spots and you get a better idea of what it might be.

Did you find that detecting?
If you are new to the detecting hobby, absorb as much as you can here on Tnet...
Your town has hundreds of coins, if not thousands, in better condition, just below the surface.

Yes I found it detecting only after trying it a few times there is nothing like getting a good signal it is such a high !!! I'm addicted. Do you know Duxbury history or hunted here ?
