Dinger those are some nice period finds:icon_thumleft:

My kind of finds..

Your finds seem to date to the Revolution time period but i do not see anything Revolutionary War there.

Hopefully you can find a button or plate to confirm it is indeed RW..

Go back there a hundred times..

When I enlarge the pictures, your coin seems to show Britannia. Is there enough detail on the other side to tell what you have for certain? Have to agree with ModernMiner....those are some very interesting books you show.
