Copper drought ended !!!

[Brian in MA]

No November coppers. But, I started December off with one (finally)...

I've been hunting a field that saw extensive use from the late 1670's through the 1700's....

The copper is in terrible shape (as usual). But there are some details. My first thought was that it was a King George I farthing... But, what's throwing me off is that where the R E X usually is, my coin has the I V S from GEORGIVS. I checked the COINS.ND.EDU site but couldn't find an example that matches the coin I found. Regardless, It's OLD !!!

Also, I got an interesting button. It's silver and has a glass diamond-cut face. It's very cool.... Any ideas how old this may be? Here are some pics....

Thanks for looking...

Might be an Evasion reading CLAUDIUS ROMANUS. Something along that line.

Nice finds brother. I would love to find one of those old coppers someday. The little podunk parks I hunt don't have goodies like that in them though

Bryce, you should do the opposite of what Horace Greeley said and GO EAST. Lotsa Coppers. Also lotsa silver.
