Surprise Coin from Colonial House Site

[Waterhead]

Here's a surprise 1761 Sweden 1 Öre Silvermynt - Adolf Fredrik copper I dug in an early colonial house site here in SE Virginia.

Got to say, it was a head scratcher for me. British coppers, Virginia Half Cents and Spanish silvers are common but this is a first.
