Virginia Halfpenny & Seated Silver

Josh and I arrived to our latest site where he found the 1500's shilling around 10 am.. after 2 or 3 hours not much was turning up so we decided to head into the woods.... dead silence .. plan B (knock next door) owners gave us the go-ahead on their huge field.. Tons of buttons, a couple musketballs and found my 3rd Virginia Halfpenny of the year and an 1849 halfdime (2nd on the year)

Star rivets with leather




Early Navy button with the shank on the wrong side




Brass Escutcheon plate and Unknown




Brass 6-pt star (colonial ninjas )


1773 King George III Virginia Halfpenny & 1849 Seated Liberty Halfdime

Re: Virginia Halfpenny & Seated Silver

Awesome halfpenny Jeff! I see you found my 100th seated coin! (1849 is a very fitting date too for what started out here)

BTW, I find a lot of the rivets with a star on them in that size and also rivets that haven't been used yet that are bigger. The rare one for me is an unused rivet with an anchor on it. If you want I can dig them out and shoot a pic. of them?

Congrats my friend!
