Draped Bust half cent, seated, 1812 artillery and...some relic porn.

Managed a few hunts since the snow melted about 10 days ago. Nothing spectacular especially compared to what I got used to find while on the trip in Europe. I got to get used to the different context, no choice...

One of the finds was on my list for a while.
Draped Bust half cent 1804


A nice Seated Dime 1853



Few more silvers 1870-1910 and War of 1812 artillery button.


Dug a few nice coppers
My best George III 1775



A beautiful Ships, Colonies and Commerce halfpenny



A few beat coins that I would wish were in a better shape.

Connecticut copper


And Blacksmith token


A cool relic made of brass in the form of bee hives.


Also managed to ID a strange relic I have found while on the trip to Europe in March. Wasn't sure what it was as the item was unlike anything I have found in the past.


It seemed to have a tiny glass eye. After cleaning it I managed to look into it and was surprised to discover some type of picture or tiny drawing of a naked women. Seems to be a 150 years old "peep show" relic... Let's just say I was extremely surprised... A very cool and unusual relic.




Thanks for the comments.

Really? I was thinking more like "Beauty is in the eye of the bee holder." Sorry...

I was expecting at least one comment about the dripping honey But this will do

Great & very interesting finds. Nice that you salvaged them from the "Dirt Bin" of history. I'm just guessing, but the brass bees & hive relic could possibly
be a garden spigot knob/handle, maybe with a center piece missing. Maybe the gardener was also a bee keeper. Old ornate brass is always cool to detect
out of the ground. Nice going. Cheers.

Very possible. Thanks Jose the Goon

Nice collection of goodies there! Some great coppers in good condition. Gotta love early American coins.

Could be better but knowing the soils I'm hunting in it's pretty much as good as it gets. That GIII halfpenny is an exception.
