Hibernia Copper and more today

[baspinall]

Hit a couple places with a buddy Aaron today. First an old 1860's school I had been to before. Dug the 1897 Indian Head and a 1909 VDB wheat. No S on that coin, bummer! We then headed to an old site where a old house once stood. Aaron had previously dug a 17?? Machin Mills variety King George. I dug this 1781 Hibernia Half Pence. I did not put it in peroxide as of yet and do not think I will. I really need a better camera to show this coin but here is what I have at the moment. I can see the 81 but not the 17. Also got crotal bell pieces, pocket watch pieces etc. In one hole at the 1st site I pulled this square piece of glass out with my find. I know I've seen this before I'm thinking..... Yep, it's a lens from a Saturn Scope. Those devices that were used to view post cards and such. All and all a fun day.

Nice find Brian on the 1909 VDB. Too bad about the crotal bell Nice finds on the IH and hibernia copper. Hope it cleans up good for ya

Nice going on the Hibernia!! I think it may be a wise decision not putting that one in the old peroxide spa. Be glad you were able to get a date off that coin! Any old copper find is a good find, and dated coins are a plus!

Congrats!

Congrats on the Irish Halffpenny. I dont think I would put it in the peroxide either. Looks like it might fall apart.

Not sure why you guys think peroxide would harm it. If the water didn't strip a good patina, the peroxide isn't going to hurt it. Being so pitted I question if it could get much better... but peroxide ain't going to hurt that one.

Bonus you can see the date. I love finding those things, they just don't love finding me anymore.

That's a FANTASTIC ID on the glass "wedge." I woudn't have had a clue on that one--but that ID will go in the memory banks now.


I really like the brass insert from the daguerrotype picture frame. Those were Expensive items in the mid-19th c. at around $5 each.



Great copper too.
