I recently received permission to detect at a cape that dates back to 1730. It's a residential property that was just sold to a new owner, previously it was being rented out and the property is a bit trashy. However, it is from 1730! So I made a day of it this past Sunday and underneith and between all the trash I found some goodies.
Total coin count came in at 78 including the ones in the pictures I've posted. Lots of zincolns, but you have to dig them as I've had old copper ring up in that range in the past.
The colonial buckle and flat button are cool, so is the George II halfpenny. I think I see a 0 at the end of date, so I think it is a 1740. Can anyone make it out any better?
Some weird foreign coin, I thought was russian. But after spending an hour on the world coin gallery I don't think it is, anyone have an idea what it is?
The cowboy is copper, not lead, and is painted green. Anyone have an idea on the date, I don't see any markings on it.
Lastly, there's some sort of copper disk with a pin/peg, does anyone have an idea what it is? Perhaps a part of a rosette?
Nice full liberty on the barber dime I found the day before!
Anyway, looking forward to heading back and finding more stuff, thanks for looking.
