1802 Copper from Early Home Site

Hey T-Net It has been awhile . Revisited the old colonial home site at the farm today . House is long gone ,but part of the foundation still exists . Dug a few buttons , door handle , two lead seals , a copper band , iron hinge and plate , hatchet head , a few dozen shot gun , shell tops ,an 1802 draped bust cent " fine detail on this one " , a 1907 barber dime " recent drop from 100 years ago " , a mystery coin lots of shards and bottle top .The day ended with a large snake wrapped in my coil. Never saw anything like it ..slithered up to me and I nudged the darn thing and it tangled around the coil .. I left my camera ,in the truck , that would have been the best shot . Fun day . Thats for taking a look . 8) CMDdawg

Hey dwayne .. reeded edge ,thin as a dime and slightly larger than the LC . Has a gold looking dot in the center .. found near an area that produced 2 KG's earlier ..rang up as a nickel on the CZ 7

aha! here's one that looks and sounds a lot like yours i found a couple of years ago in ny. little bigger than an LC, thin as a dime, reeded edge, sounded like a shotgun shell, and found in a site that produced lots of colonial and early american coins and relics.
unfortunately, it's one of my few unidentified coin finds. my best guess was a crude counterfeit 4 reale or half dollar. other side looks about the same.

Yep ..looks like the same one ! The one I found has a brass look to it with gold spot on one side makes me think it was a St. Patricks Farthing and the gold looking spot , is the brass plug that was inserted to make the crown colored ...yours is reeded better than this one .. too bad they are worn out Thanks for the pic and interest ,dwayne CMDdawg

nice copper

The 8 sided 'button' is half of a circa 1800 cufflink

Re: 1802 Copper from Early Home Site

Gotta love the Draped Bust

I have two coppers that will never get an ID. I like them because it is always neat to try "one more time" for the ID. Maybe some day I will figure them out
