My first really old coin

[rammjäger]

Hello,
Today my luckyday!
Sunday afternoon and almost spring.... very bored.So I took y MD
and decided to hunt our own backyard . To my surpirice I got a
good signal only a pair of Mtrs. from where I found that UFO key
some month ago. The dirty piece of cupper was only 2 inches deep!
"It´s too thin to be a coin" - I thought .But after cleaning it I confirmed
the face of a man there with some chin beard like the one Buffalo Bill
wore
Unfortunatelly the material is so much corroded I cannot see any Year
or writting. But surely 18 or 19th Centuries.
HH .

I can't ID it for you, but how great it must be to find treasure literally in your own back yard!
If I know these TNers, someone will know more.

Congratulations,

Looks like a King George V bust.

Thanks to all
Today I had a wild guess :
Since at the very same place some years ago a US civil wartime Inkwell
was found,
couldn´t it be possible this coin also US origin?
The cupper coins in Uruguay doesn´t fit this image,at least none I know.
But I´m no coin expert.
Any idea could be of great helpfor me.
Thank you again and
HH.

Thank you Mark for your tip.
Do you think the image of King George V penny
could match with this Man´s bust ?
Here a better pic.

Looks 19th century German to me, but ask Mike :

He will know.

Almost looks Canadian or South African. I see you put up a better picture, the first was hard to see any detail at all. HH, Mike

Hello Mike,
a fellow member from a german webpage apparently identified the coin.
I saw the images, and they match- I am waiting for his answer as what
type of coin
it is and where it comes from.As soon as I get the results I´ll let
you know.
Thank you.HH.

Hello,
here is the Coin:
Origin : Italy 1866
Haus of Savoya
Victor Emmanuell II
1861 - 1878
10 Cents / 5 Cents Turin
Estimated price in good condition : $ 130 dollars

At least now do I have an idea what kind of Family inhabited
this property so long before we did.
Very interesting indeed.
HH.

Hello,
this is what was left of Pocket Watch of Gold . This relic was found aprox. 40 years ago
buried in these grounds as well. In my opinion it belongs to the 1860´s and
probably the same family too.
