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

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!

That's my excuse for the rushed W3 ID...lol.

"They" say it's going to be a snowy winter judging by the size of the acorns. Sorry to hear your covered already IP. My days are numbered but I can't seem to find much time to get out.

Crabstang - I've found several cracked cast coins but never got any ID's. It's great you have one.

Here's a 1766 Hibernia I found this Spring

when yall say (cast), what exactly is that?

There was two types of counterfeits, struck like genuine coins where the counterfeiter took the time to create a die... and cast, where they used a mold and could use cheaper metal... and the lack of quality is why the coin can crack or break easier. It's not uncommon to see cast coins that have oxidized grey or white from the lead content in them.
