I dug this coin this past Sunday at a former homesite. It is in rough shape, but I am excited anyway, as it is my oldest dug coin: 1682, and silver to boot! It is a schilling of Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp (German States). I originally had no idea what it was, so I posted it on the What is It forum. A big shout out to Bramblefind, who nailed the difficult ID and provided me with links and photos. So interesting to find an example of the different foreign coinage the colonists used in early America. Also found eight buttons, including this tiny anchor button. Could this be a Navy cuff/sleeve button? Also found this unknown item with the word TENT on it, which I am guessing once said PATENT. Thanks for checking out my post and good luck out there.
