Went back to an old site today... Counterfeit capped bust quarter!
My wife and I went back to an old site today and focused on an area we had worked before, but this time with my small coil for more separation. We still dug big iron sounding targets to see what they were. We got more buttons, all smooth on the front. One thicker one says standard colour gilt on the back, and one more word I can’t read. I’m not sure if that one fits the time the rest of this stuff came from. Maybe a passerby dropped it later. Also found a holed coin, although I question if it’s real because the edges are crumbling. Maybe it was originally made as a pendant? I tried to sidelight it and get some photos, but they’re still crappy cell phone photos. Can anyone tell what it was?
