Yesterdays Finds....(2) Counterfeit large Cents

[The Seeker]

My goal today when going back to the Farmers Field up on English Hill, would be to just find a couple of Large cents and focus on some Iron Relics ..In order to do that I had to plan on doing plenty of digging!

So as I started out the day was gorgeous and the weather ideal, I had planned on taking the day off and just go out and enjoy the moment!
What I found within the first ten minutes was this 1830's large cent with a hole in it.......Coins with holes... theres no surprise , lately there have been plenty found.

The two other large cents were found very late in the day no more that 5 feet from each other. I believe there made of Pewter or a white metal material. The date is strange is almost looks to be dated 1732.....But that can't be so it must be 1832 . The other sorry looking one , you can just make out the bust on the face along with s couple of stars in the upper right side of the coin along with the detail on the edge. Now these are strange and any imput would be appreciated....



The small copper plate is a very interesting piece, that name is associated with some of the first Telephones, phonographs ....!





When detecting this site , I have to give thanks to the owner ....he is one great guy and has owned this farm and land going back to the early 1800's when this town was founded and has a number of great places to detect up and down this road. Thanks for viewing and enjoy .......!

Seems like you've found a very nice field to detect. I especially like the key and coins.

I'm no coin expert, but they look pretty good to me for being buried in a field all those years...thanks for sharing your digs.

Very Nice finds John. That field looks awesome and looks like you had a beautiful fall day to hunt. Any of those holed coins ...well you can send to me for my gypsy belt! I suppose you will be going back there!....Looks like there could have been a house in there at one time...over by those larger trees...maybe you could walk to the back of that field and see if there was some type of bottle dump or rock fence line . Way to go as always!

Cool finds. Glad to see your snow melted. Looks a little muddy but it was a nice day yesterday.

Interesting with the different Large cent(s). The one looks like it has a larger diameter.
Like that old key.

John,
Sweet finds, It is like I was there...........Oh ya kinda I was working and you were calling me with regular updates on finds. I wonder if Timmy got a call proir to you going out.....I would say not as some of us have to work. Tim and I planted that stuff there for you to find so when I see you tomorrow just bring me the finds and I will get Tims back to him. You can keep one of the buttons...lol
Great job Bud, I will have my detector at work tomorrow I will be in and out of the office so i will leave it there.

I never got "The Call"! Great job as usual, seek, even though your finds were planted by Jeff and Timmy.

No really, Great job! Those large cents are unusual.

After the rough weather you've been having lately I can see why you would just want to take a day as nice as that and get out and hunt.You made some great finds out there.The counterfit coins are interesting.There's got to be some colorful history behind those.With all the buttons and other artifacts I'd say you had a pretty decent day.Sounds like that farmers property should keep you busy for a long time to come.Best of luck to you on future hunts there. HH!

You're just killin me here Seeker! OHHHH...I think I will go out today and find myself a couple of large cents.

WoW on those finds, John! 8) Glad you got some good weather too!

Awesome! Nana

Thanks everyone for the nice comments and messages.....This place , like the other places I have hunted is a gem for Relic hunting! The time period of this town and surrounding homesteads are from the early 1800's .....The land owner like I said in the post is a great guy and was very interested in what I was going to do! Metal detect those farm fields. Mr Bennett was very impressed with the finds and coins that I have showed him the few times I have hunted his farm fields. He was more than happy to answer any questions I had and was happy to help in any way!! Here are a couple more pics of the road and the property to hunt!

thanks again Seeker

Holy cow...Is that frost on the field there?...was slappin mosquitoes today....come onnnnn January!!!!

Being in a field, do you think fertilizer could have caused the cents to look like that?

Awesome finds and pictures, thanks for sharing a real nice hunt! HH, Mike

Hey Cheese.......Whats funny about finding large cents and copper Relics, is that sometimes they can come out beautiful and in excellent condition ... like the "Field of Dreams" site we hunted a few Weeks ago. But fertilizers and very wet conditions will take a toll on some nice dated coins. The corn fields I hunted this week do have plenty of manure spread through out this field at times, and that to will increase the acid levels . That for sure will do a number on some nice old coins!

Hope this helps
