Dont read if you hate someone who finds 4 colonial coins under a week.

Don't read if you hate someone who finds 4 colonial coins under a week.

I know this post will just disappear into page 87 by tomorrow, but I figure the few of you who actually care about colonial stuff should see what I have found recently in MA.

On the left are 2 Connecticut coppers(1787).

On the right we have 2 Woods Hibernia Halfpennies(1722-1724).

I found them all within a week, and all on the same farm I have been working. 3 came from 1 field, and one came from an old trail adjacent a field.

Notice the old hoe. It's an oldie for sure!

Enjoy.

Nice. You sure that's not a fairway you're on? Can't see the flag but it's got to be down there somewhere. ;-)
The sharp tool at the top looks to be part of something else. Interesting.

It's a hay field. It may look like a golf course, but it does get tall over time!

Yeah that sharp thing is a mystery. Everyone always asks about it. Heavymetalnut suggested that it could have been part of a tool to make holes in leather straps.

Dale, I care... Nice finds!

Nice finds. Nice spot it must be a pleasure to hunt it.

Really awesome finds. If you allready know ignore it, but the triangluar piece at the bottom right is the tooth off a header for cutting grain or hay, could be really old, or could be new, they havent changed much for a hundred years. It make sense you would find one in a hay feild lol!

I did NOT know that! Thanks, and yes it does make sense.

Yes it certainly is, especially when the hay is harvested and it's easy swinging.

[umrgolf]

Great finds!! We don't hate you That one picture does look like a fairway!

 

[Elad]

That pic of the field is actually from a month ago, it's all cut and not as green now... but still a beautiful place to be.

 

[granthansen]

Amazing finds. Congrats! You must've been very excited to pull those out of the ground.

 

[NJLargeCent]

Great finds! Hope to meet up with you when granthansen and I go northward (in other words, if you can't hate 'em, join 'em).

Just beautiful coins. Love the old stuff. Your correct that most guys care for clad and jewelry finds here any more and this thread will fall to the bottom fast.
