2021 is off to a great start! I got my 3rd, 4th and 5th colonial copper of the year this afternoon plus a bonus Indian.
My first target was a clean signal in the pewter range on my Nox (12-13).. thought I was digging a tombac or a nickel, but it turned out to be what i believe is a copper farthing with “CATELL” stamped across the face. The reverse is wiped smooth. Im not too familiar with farthings but i believe the right facing bust puts it near 1730. Any insights on the “CATELL”??
My next good target turned out to be a 1902 Indian...
I moved a couple hundred yards to a little hill and got a fairly high tone on the Nox (29)... turned out to be a KGIi on edge... my fourth of the year... 1734?
My next and last good target turned out to be what i believe is another farthing... 1723
Hibernia
I am not very familiar with farthings and my references are limited to the
internet, so i would welcome your feedback... particularly any insight on the “CATELL”.
Thanks for lookin
