Coppers, 1864 L Indian, Buttons etc

[doninbrewster]

Got out to a new spot for a couple of quick hunts the last two days. House goes back to 1690 so anything's possible. Oldest find was a King William III halfpence, 1695-1701. Toasted, but old. Also got a couple of KG II's, one very toasted. Only silver was the handle from what appears to have been a knife. Victorian sash buckle is kind of neat and there's some sort of hanging gizmo I'm not sure what it is. The star of the show is one of the 2 Indians I found, an 1864 with L. Not the rarest Indian I ever found, but it's a decent one considering how long it's been in the ground. Found few flat buttons also.

Incidentally, how many wIIIs have you found before?

It's my first William III although I did find a William & Mary. I find lots of KG II's and a KG I once in a while. On a club hunt last year I found a nice handful of stuff and one of the guys I was with found William III shilling. Here's my handful.

Well, congrats on the WIII! And that is a heck of a handful...the NJ and farthing are a very cool touch. What an awesome day that must've been.

Thanks for the reply, HH to you

Don't forget there was a Connecticut copper there too. It was my first farthing and came up in way above average condition. The members of the club found 37 coppers that day that I know of. It was quite a hunt site.
