1652 Pine Tree Three Pence

Hi all :hello:
Took the T2 out to Cob Cove for the extra low tides
,
I've hammered this site for years.

Used the 5" coil, my new grey ghost headphones and poked thru the iron patch,

(think you know iron? imagine the main drag of a shipyard in use for 400 years !! )

The headphones make a world of difference in picking up those little squeaks.

Talk to Mike at Woodland Metal Detector Sales for his special pricing on these :icon_thumleft:

Pulled lots of small targets down to the size of a single birdshot pellet, half the size of a pea.


Found a 1652 Pine Tree Thruppence! only need a SixPence to complete the set.

and a toasty 1828/1830/1838 ?? halfdime,

Argentina 20 Centavo, same from 1895-1940, after cleaning, I see 1899.

Garfield and Arthur Political button, this would date 1881 I believe.

Odd buckle, 19th C I think. Police Special Whistle, man, is it LOUD !!

Pewter spoon fragment, Scallop design, it's an oldie.

smooth coppa,

A bunch of buttons,two backmarked 'G crown IV The Kings'
got half a dozen of these already.... popular button

an ornate one piece brass, two pewters and a blowhole,
the crustier pewter has three 'pimples' or maybe a floral design.

That's it for today,
looking for my 8 Escudo Tomorrow :laughing9: HH All !!

Hey steelheadwill, do you happen to have any houses for sale on your street? Think I'll move up there and hunt with you :occasion14:
 

Not to sound ignorant ot any thing but being new I have to ask what is it or the significance of a pine tree
 

That is another sweet find. Hope you complete the set!
 

Come on Herbie give us a break , another one :headbang:if i was you i would pitch a tent and live there lol 360 year old coin , that half dime looks to be 1830 ,fantastic finds The Banner is a no-brainer . Jim

Thanks to all for your replies and votes !! :hello:

Sure was a surprise to see the tree on this tiny piece....

I've enjoyed looking thru everyones recent finds and I'll bet this fall

will turn up a lot more goodies for all :occasion14:
Happy Hunting to You !!! herbie :hello2:

Ironman, good reading on the history of the first silvers minted in North American Colonies here:
(and the reason most are dated 1652) Colonial Coins - Section Contents

Hulls Rocker press bent these coins into an 'S' shape making them difficult
to photograph clearly, I've always had issues with depth of field anyway...

Amazing finds as usual! Congrats Herbie!
 

Wow! amazing condition. What method do you use to clean those coins?
 

It difficult to find American as old coin ... I vote Banner! :hello2:
 

GREAT FINDS... Big Congrats and I am sure that the missing sixpence is there waiting for you. :icon_thumright:
 

Herbie, I see another great year in your future. You didn't miss many days hunting last fall & winter season. A great way to start off the fall hunting season. Great digs Bud. HH, Quindy.
 

Awsome finds and many more to come HH BANNER
 

Thanks !
It's great to hear from all my old friends :hello:

I've been off the digging track for a while,

Happy to see you all didn't forget about me :laughing7:

I'm Going back thu recent finds to see all you guys Goodies,
Best wishes and HH Everyone !!

CudaMark, the only coin cleaned was the 20 Centavo, I gave it 3 hours in a vibratory tumbler.
they work great on relics and coins with no value or historical significance.

the differences in the 3P photos are just from lighting and photoshop.
