More TOAST

umrgolf · Dec 3, 2009

Hey, this is becoming a theme for me now :tongue3:

I get on these nice early sites and everything comes out looking not so great... the first couple pics are of the soybean field I hunted today, the 3rd pic is hard to make out but a tree in the middle of one of the fields with an old grave plot.. The three coins are a colonial copper(unidentifiable), a toasted 2-center (1866?), and a decent 1888 IH (too bad it wasnt 8/7, think thats a money coin if i recall) anyway, the big pewter thing is a button maybe :dontknow:

and the ring only has the gold plating left on the inside with some weird inscriptions (just symbols) all in all, it was a beautiful day and I was happy to get out... HH, Jeff (toast)

I bet it is a King George copper. It has been about 3 weeks since I dug one, so I am itching.

I think so, you can barely see a face but not enough to be definitive... got this one 4 weeks ago (1734)

Sweet KG II! I dug one of those 3 weeks ago. You must be from Northern Virginia? :dontknow:

I noticed the Northerners dig more Colonial coppers.

I like your finds! The cloth weiht is interesting also, as it has a crossed bar center rather than what you almost always find which is just one bar. :icon_thumleft:

Im in the Norfolk area Kirk.. southern... I generally do my hunting around this area (south)... And thanks for the i.d. Johnny, a cloth weight heh? I had no clue what it was :laughing7:

Ive seen em before and pitched them, and they were all just the single cross that you mentioned.. I only wish I was more knowledgeable before I started hunting... I used to throw out flat buttons :laughing9:

I don't throw things out anymore!

Lol, the whole toast thing is kind of a joke, but I was referring more to the 2 center.. it disintegrated when i tried to clean it and i couldn't read any of the date :laughing7:

and the colonial is more worn than toasty.. The only way I got 1866 was in the field and thats just what i thought i saw... anyway, ur right they weren't too bad :hello2:
