Today went hunting at a plantation dated 1822. It was also used as a hospital during the Cival War. I've been waiting for a while to get permission for this spot and was there about 2 hours. Found these items and some other artifacts including one that may be part of a cannonball but im not sure if they broke apart or if they break apart at all so I didnt put a pic of it so I wouldnt look silly thinking its something that it may not be. All in all it was wonderful and cant wait to get there again next week.

nice finds is that a 5 cent fishscale or a dime.
Finding a canadian silver on a plantation must be rare
 

hi Don ive been looking closely at all the victorias from canada and because of the locks of hair in thier position on the neck would make it either 25 or 50 cents but im not really sure. on the back all i can make out is 18... for the date and the ce.. for the cents. Any help would be appreciated.

Nice digs twister.Got yourself some great hunting ahead of you
by the looks of what you were able to recover in just a couple
of hours.Good luck on future hunts.
 

it looks to me to be a dime or a 5 cent
is it as big as a dime or smaller
here is a sample of a few I found

Nice job I wish we had some of that old history around here....arrowheads are hard to pick up with the MD....... ;D
 

i thought so too but look at where the locks of hair in the back of the head. from what i seen where they are placed on the coin i posted are in the same place as the 25 or 50 cents. notice it is different place than the ones you posted but.. i could very well br wrong, lol this is the first for me of that type.
thanks for your help i greatly appreciate it.
