3 HR HUNT = 3 X COIN WEIGHT & SCALLOPED EDGED CUT 2R ETC ST LUCIA
!!!
UPDATE: I think this could be a St Lucia coin! See Krause catalog.
I rarely get the chance to hunt these days so when I do I tend to go back to sites that have produced lots of goodies rather than look for new ones. Yesterday I had a 1/2 day and back to one of my trusted sites I went. Almost immediately I got the cut piece. Looks like either Madrid or Seville. The edges are scalloped and there is the O counter stamp. Kind of looks like a reis from Paraguay but not yet sure exactly what to make of it. The 3 weights are pretty cool. There are two 2 pennyweights and one 4 pennyweight. Looks like 2 different passant lion counter stamps. I found several similar pieces on this UK database site:
Record ID: LON-473A90 - POST MEDIEVAL coin weight - Database
Record ID: NMS-714B64 - POST MEDIEVAL weight - Database
Some buttons and a watch key and farmer/ hunter dropped coins.
My best find came when the farmer (never met him, my permission came from the owner) rode out to greet me and offered up 2 more farms for me to explore. One is 300 acres and the other is directly on an important colonial river. Needless to say I am extremely excited about this!
