1723 Woods Hibernia, relics

[Mr. Digger]

Hit a new field today and dug my first Woods Hibernia. It's a 1723 farthing and the flaking has started. I had never found one of those heart heal plates and today I dug two! What a beautiful New England spring morning. Hope everyone had a chance to get out!

Well done on the old copper.
Those plates have seen alot of walking.
I have only recovered one good plate, from what appears to be off a lady's boot heel.

Update: the coin is slightly larger than a quarter and meets the specifications for halfpenny (25.85 mm in diameter), not a farthing. It's much smaller than any other halfpenny or LC I have found which is why I assumed farthing, but the design of these halfpennies is much smaller I have learned.
