Days 2 and 3 at New Site = Classic Head Large Cent + Worn Farthing (???)

[Kyle PA]

KKC got out to our new site yesterday and today. Yesterday was a good day for me, as I was able to recover a Classic Head large cent. This is my third Classic Head cent this year.




Today, we went back to the horse pasture again in search of more hidden secrets. As I was swinging along, I was startled by a nice reading on my machine. I pulled out a small copper coin-like object. There is no resemblance of a shank whatsoever, but there is a small hole going through it. I believe that it is a farthing. I have it sitting right on top of a King George III farthing, and they are the same exact diameter.



Here it is next to what I think is a King George III farthing. The non-dug farthing, which is pictured to the left, is 20.5 mm and weighs 2.20 grams. My possible farthing is also 20.5 mm in diameter and weighs 1.55 grams. Could mine be a farthing?



Here is a picture of the thicknesses of them.



Thanks for viewing!

Kyle
