My COLONIAL finds with pics...1734 King George II

[93vector]

Here are the pics of my finds from the colonial site I visited yesterday...went back this morning and got another colonial coin and button.

THe coins are: 1734 King George II halfpenny (Left facing bust)
1773 King George (right facing bust)
Unknown large copper
Unknown very smal coin....any thoughts?? Much smaller than a dime as you can see.

13 Buttons....few of the silver
Colonial relics

I can't wait to get back there!

Can't you flake off the rest of whatever is on that small coin?

Nice finds. I'm puzzled as to what that small coin is.

I,m interested in that small coin also. You should see if you can get the crust off.The coppers are great. You have a productive site. Hit it hard.

You won't get an ID on the small silver coin till the crud is removed. The coin mostly is a Half Real, but could be a silver 3 center also, but if found with the coppers I would go with Half Real.

The 1774 is possible to be a bust facing left BUT, I am fairly certain it is a 1734 King George II Halfpenny. Hard to tell for sure from the photos but that would be the most logical answer and it looks like a young head KGII bust. One of my 1734's looks also like you could think 1774, just the way the 7 and 3 are so close in apperance when worn some.

Great finds and a great spot to search. Hopefully you can get back there today. It's beautiful out here in Rhode Island today.

Thanks Don

You are absolutely right...i was able to clean up a bit more and it is in fact 1734 King George II halfpenny...not a 1774. So even better!

Nice Copper!! ;-) Are you sure that is a coin?? Given the size it seems more likely it is a small flat button..
