Some recent colonial era finds

[Silvermonkey]

It's been my goal this year to target older sites where I have a shot at finding colonial era coins and relics. So far, so good. Over the past couple of hunts ( 5/13 & 5/17) I've been paying more attention to an overgrown field that has previously produced a shoe buckle and an older US LC.

Taking my time, and listening for fainter. deeper signals I came across a shockingly slick large copper on Thursday.



Despite the lack of detail, this coin appears to be the same size and composition of a William & Mary Irish half penny I have come across in the past ( 25 mm, 5.4 g).

Returning to the same area on Monday, I hit a very deep signal ( 12 inches) that turned out to be a nice early shoe buckle frame.



I'll be back there tomorrow. Still more ground to grid out. I'll keep you all posted if there are any more interesting recoveries

Good results digging the buckle and the copper.
Looks like the soils treat the metals kindly leaving a nice patina on both of them.
