First found a couple of Canada LCs an Edward, and a 1916.

OK, but not what was supposed to be here. So third decent target was a "bit" of a coin. Cut or broke, I don't know, but cool non-the-less. Got a Positive ID as 1722 Irish HP, a one year only type.

A forth find is this rolled up coin, no detail on the outside, but pretty confident that it is a coin.

Outstanding!! Nice to see a Maritimer making awesome finds! Congrats!
 

Dang, I'd be very happy with the Edward VII, And the George V. , if those were the only finds of the day .
 

Cool find Rick, looks like it was cut intentionally. That is one copper I have not found yet.
 

Great copper!
 

Nice digs, what do you think the curled one is?

Well Steve you have found a lot of cut coin, and I none, so I'll take your word for it.
PS there can't many you haven't found.

I can see the score line on the right side of the coin where it looks like it was cut, but the break along the other edge is a bit odd...I have never seen a copper coin breaking like that. Are you sure it's not a counterfeit of some sort? It's an interesting find for sure.
 

Looks like you had a good hunt there Rick, nice finds. We have to plan to get out for another hunt again soon, I have some days off at the end of the month.
ZDD
 

Great hunt! I've never seen a rolled up coin like that before.
 

I don't know the "outside" is blank, and I haven't decided if I want to straighten it out just yet.
 

Sweet haul right there man:headbang:

Being a fighting Irish boy i like the coin:thumbsup:

That is one chopped up copper Rick. Doesn't look intentional due to the irregular cuts, but maybe multiple plow hits?? Still a nice find.
 

Always nice when you can make some finds like that!
 

300 y.o. coin--priceless.
