Beautiful 1879 Indian, 1787 Connecticut copper, and what is this clipped copper? also i was able to see that the back is a hibernia, cause i see the harp. Yes I shoveled it in half but it was already clipped, and is this a revolutionary war navy flat button? It has no backmark, and nice tombac

Congrats on some nice finds. The clipped coin looks like KG2?

Not much copper left in that counterfeit. Nice conn. Looks like a rev war captain button or post war midshipmen to me. Nice looking indian too. Great hunt! Hh

That's a sweet road your hunting. Congrats on digging that sweet copper and the other finds. I'd guess we know where you'll be spending some time.

King William 3rd you have there.

Chances are it isn't counterfeit. Those coins were contracted out by the crown, and many were made of lesser quality metals (cost cutting).

Great find. On our side of the pond we don't see too many pre-KG coins.

Great finds. Those are some cool artifacts.

Great finds.. I was looking in my button book and couldn't find any info on it.

thanks for the id, what was the years for this coin? and why were they clipped?

 

[Scrappy]

Off the top of my head 1695-1701.

Clipped could be anything. Fractional coppers existed but I couldn't imagine what that chip would have bought even back then.

Here's my best W3.

I found a clipped KG half penny this past summer; not sure why they would have clipped such a small denomination but apparently they did.

Great bunch of finds especially the button-congrats!

Congratualtions on the nice coins and button!

 

[Patriot Relics]

Nice copper and flat button- looks to be a copper cuff with a bit of gilt left over. Would love to see a picture of the back but I suspect you've got yourself a British navy officer cuff.

Nice Navy.

Your coin appears to be an 1805 Hibernia, and having Georgivs and not Georgius it must be counterfeit... and that explains why it broke so easy. if that is correct it's an odd find because these weren't counterfeited anywhere near as much as the 1700s halfpennies, and even a cast one is pretty odd. Odd enough I'm still questioning it... but that's definitely what it seems to be.

IP has some good eyes. I did an overlay and yes, it's not a W3 match. Nice catch IP. It's still strange how it seems cast.

Looks good to me!

Brain cramp. My previous post is basically a contradiction. V for U makes it a struck counterfeit. Which is still not very common for these.

Now a little confused, so what is it?

1766 Geo 3 Hibernia. Matches the overlay but I don't know for how long they used the die, nor I haven't the foggiest about it being counterfeit of not.

haha . Remember I said I was missing something... did I say obvious too? For some reason the bust struck me (no pun intended) as the 1805. Yes definitely the 1766 (or 1769) which explains why it's Georgivs, and most likely a cast coin. I might feel bad about being wrong, but there's way more to feel bad about to what I woke up to on the ground here... I am done detecting for 2016.

A case of over-confidence and not taking the time to compare!
