Old pocket spill

Mainedigger · Sep 7, 2008

WEnt into the woods today looking for an old foundation that I ahven;t been able to find and today was no different...couldn;t find it. Ended up detecting around some old stone walls and found the normal shotgun shells etc..but did get a good solid penny/dime signal on my M6 and found this pocket spill along with a musket ball down about 8 inches. 1802 LC, 1793 George III, an undated George II and an undated either George I or II. First pic is slightly cleaned second two are after soaking and cleaning a bit more.

You sure it was a pocket spill I wonder if it was a small cache you found.

Either way it was a great find.

Never thought of that, was just assuming it was a pocket spill but I suppose a small cache is possible as well.

Gads, my mistake on the year, but I still think not 1793, perhaps 1799? Halfpenny, the size of the coin did have me wondering, but what I forgot the date of the 1806/7 is on the Obverse not the Reverse :-[

It looks too good to be a counterfeit, it is not a Cartwheel and I thought only Condor Tokens were in that date range and the SOHO mint did not do regals till later in the 1797?

Crusader- any help?
