More Colonial silver , copper & relic finds !!

5-15 -11 Saturday and Sunday hunts back to back to the same old colonial cellar hole , where the crumb / salt spoon & rat tail spoon ,1788 Jersey copper , 1757 Six pence silver were recovered . http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,399325.0.html Thought the first dig was a real 45 cal but not the case . Early G Man badge , and a 1907 Indian cent .. Sunday ...where the sixpence was found .... spent hours diggin ' through broken bricks , junk , more junk , buckle pieces , DB brass bridal rosette , Parkes coffee pin , square nails , iron chunks of stoves and barrel straps , chards , more red brick :P every shovelful hit these pieces of red brick . Pain in the you know what !! Best find of the weekend is , a giant signal that screamed , COIN 1780 Maria Theresa Thaler trade dollar .These trade silvers were used in the colonies till mid 1800's , still made today with 1780 date ..worn date KG I Hibernia , ended the hunt with a pewter handle and flat buttons . I like this place but it will soon be overgrown with unbearable jigger bush . . Thanks for stopping in and the heat is on , Good Day 8) P.S. Memorial Day will soon be here , As we pause to give thanks this Memorial Day for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice – for keeping the Union intact, for our freedoms, to extend that umbrella of freedom to others – freeing them from tyranny and oppression, let us give thanks and always remember.

Thats a great site you got there

Thanks prolab69

Solid day of Colonial diggin', it's what I like seeing.

Thanks Sentinel , my friend

way to go nice find

Sweet finds for sure! By the look of the bricks and from what I can see from the site, could it have been a privy?

Leave some of those NJ coppers behind for me! It seems everyone I detect with has dug one but me!

Old house was a two story brick colonial . occupied till 1980's.. Thanks

Im drooling. Really sweet finds. Thanks for posting dawg

way to go nice find

Thanks ,

Wait a second now! I see two NJ Jersey coppers there that you don't even mention or show individual close ups of. And you even live in New Jersey

Very nice finds there, and quite a variety too. That Thaler is really cool. Hope it turns out to be an early varient.

Glad you like the finds and Thank You ]

Dawg, I have never seen one of those trade dollars. I doubt there are many in the grouns here in Tennessee. Great finds Dawg. It's not the old mill site but it looks very productive. A little Roundup may help hunting conditions there-LOL. HH, Quindy.

Roundup sounds like a great idea ..I'll try some , the mill will have to wait a few but that one is hot but I am too busy making new $$$

Cool finds

Looks like some tough digging

Thanks Jim Morrison I mean Johnnyblaze I remember, The Doors

Looks like your hard work pays off again, CMDawg ! More impressive Finds, Congrats

TommNJ

Thanks TommNJ Best to you

Assuming it was period minted, it seems to have an awful amount of detail to before it could've been circulating TOO long to me at least
Great stuff

hard to say but on to the next Thanks

These trade silvers were used in the colonies till mid 1800's

They're actually made pretty much right up to today. You would have to ID the variety to give the age. Could be 200 years old, could be 20.

Very popular and a highly minted coin, but this is the first I have seen posted.

Thanks IP , more than likely the newer nut I am glad it was a first ...for me and T Net

Re: More Colonial silver , copper & relic finds !!

I REALLY want to nominate for banner: the Thaler in close proximity to the NJ colonials says 200+ years to me. But I'll wait as you state some are still being minted today with that date. (Chinese?)

I suspect that NJ colonials are banner-worthy in and of themselves, though.

Re: More Colonial silver , copper & relic finds !!

Very nice finds on that hunt. You have a great place their and I wait to see what else you find over the summer.

No, they are more thought of as restrikes and have been done pretty much since the first day they were minted. The NJ coppers really don't mean much when other finds dating much later have been found.

I never thought I'd curse at digging an 1800s quarter but I did when it was in the middle of a patch of finds that all dated mid. 1700s. It can happen.

Hello Tuberale , Positively not Chinese ...the Jersey coppers were found nearby at a mill and not the same hunt , these are on my desk because I admire them daily !!! My absolute favorites of all the colonials . I took a pic with those coppers to give an idea of the size of the silver vs. a large copper { no intent to mislead anyone } as for the age and variety ...it is a tarnished old one but I am not an expert on these , it is the first one I have ever seen and it was dug in an old home site , so it is old ...positive it is silver and a legit Thaler or a legit restrike I will have a collector friend who will check it out asap . I am more interested in finding more relics before the site gets overgrown at this point . Thanks for your interest and Best of Luck in your future treasure hunts .

Your right patch , finding an old silver with a 1780 date that may not be minted in 1780 is a nightmare glad I found the Thaler but it may as well been an Ike dollar at this point . I would have been better off with one with the date worn away than it wouldn't be , a maybe the first variety coin. one member actually tossed a Walker found at a CW site recently dawg

Actually there is a positive side, there's lots of clear detail. I wouldn't even attempt trying to figure one out in poor condition.
