Older spot same plantation

[Schuder3]

These are from a different area of the 5000 ac. plantation I have been hunting. Scouting around quickly I know I am leaving relics. No worries, I'll be going back. I have ID the coin on the left, but can not find the one on the right anywhere. It is very thin and 21mm on the wide side. Does anyone have any idea where to look for ID?

Those are a couple oldies there. Can't help with ID though.

I think I see a Scottish thistle on the left hand example.

I see a fleur-de-lis on the one on the right...maybe a french coin?

The one on the left if in copper is a rose farthing, the one on the right a French coin, possibly an ecu. I used to know this stuff. Great 17th century coins there.

Can you pull the monarch's name off the one on the left? I can't tell from here but probably James I, Charles I or Charles II, after that milled coins were used. Try the Louis XII and Louis XIII coins for reference.

The one on the left is SILVER so can't be a rose farthing its a JAMES I Halfgroat;

Congrats of your finds! Go to your App Store and download this app called Coinoscope. Take a photo of the coin and it will identify it for you. Let me know if this helps.

Thanks for looking guys. Crusader, I believe you nailed it with the James I 1/2 groat. Smokeythecat, I am looking through your suggestion of Louis XII & XII. Very close on some of them, but mine has a Fleur de lis at the intersection of the cross (4), the ones I see have (2) Fleur de lis and (2) crowns. The obverse is totally different. Thanks again. This button was in the same area. A rose and mold mark on back

I believe this button is a British Naval officers button. Rev War period.

Well, you'll find it. And ya got hammered! This is the year of the hammered coin!

 

[OreElse]

Great finds!

 

[dansalata]

wow...interesting finds.....good work!!!

 

[Whyme]

Wow those are some oldies! Congrats!

 

[screwynewy]

Too bad the thread title doesn't do justice to these finds. It isn't very often that hammered coins are dug from US soil. In this colonial diggers mind, these are banner finds but they just don't win the popularity contest like a gold coin. You're on to a site with early colonial history. Enjoy it while it last. Congrats!
