We went out on our land for a couple of hours today and picked about a bit in the thick stuff. We cleaned out a few saplings and were rewarded with a few coins:
The first coin we found was the youngest, this 1956 silver 10 cents:
We quickly followed with two signals, first this really nice silver 1920 5 cents. These are always nice to find.
While my son was digging that I was opening up a hole for this 1745 George II half penny.
Things went a bit quiet after that, and then we got this William III half penny almost by the car, isn't that always the way.
I can't read much of the date but it would be 1695 to 1701, and I think I can see part of the 6.
Only 2 other interesting finds, this copper alloy or bronze item. No idea what it is, and it is broken, but perhaps part of a flash hole pick?
And an early hand cut screw. There is a mark on it but perhaps only where it was clamped at some time. Perhaps from a butt plate on a musket or more likely furniture.
Happy hunting.
