Some Colonial Finds

[SC Keith]

Went to do some shallow water hunting and just scored these finds. The Hibernia with no patina came from down in mud and came out exactly like that, so it is as found. The site is very compact and may be worth one more hunt! Thanks for looking!

When I first saw the copper I thought it just came out the tumbler, then I read where you found it. Congrats on the recovery it's a real nice keeper. Liking the links and the button also, early glass and pottery is always a cool find.

Beautiful 1766 Hybernia! The only one I ever found was worn so smooth it was practically a blank planchette.

George's head looks a little odd, so I think it might be a counterfeit, could just be the corrosion. Keep in mind that by counterfeit, I mean a contemporary counterfeit from the 1700's, made to pass a legal currency. Just as cool, or cooler than the real one in my opinion!

You found a coin ten years older than our country. I would say it was worth "one more hunt"! Congrats and thanks for posting.
