Colonial Spanish and early American coins

It didn't start out so great today because Kirk was told to work extra hours at work. We were patient like the patient Gibbons that we are. Starting out hours after we usually get detecting proved to be a good omen after all. Kyles usual diligent research bone pointed us in the right direction. I secured permission with yet another gracious landowner. Off we went on another pirates quest for booty. This farm has at least a hundred acres of productive land that we determined will keep us bipeds happy for many weeks,months and not out of the question-YEARS. Well at least a fallback area for years. I'll let Kyle aka Zoyboy give you the particulars but let me just say that I am extremely excited about this area. The farmer told me that we can go back as many times as we want. Here's what I found and in order #1 1902 Injun
#2 1946 Rosy
#3 Classic head half cent date corroded otherwise great shape
#4 1782 Spanish Half Real
I also found 3 colonial buttons and a 1955 dog license.
Have a good one everyone

Hey don't believe a word Kirk says. We all know he was flirting with some hot nurses after his shift got over then his lady caught him!

As usual your finds are just too darn cool.

Wow, talk about diversity. Think some hot peroxide will bring out the date on that cent?

I wish it would but it is heavy corrosion which altered the structure of the coppa.
