Hey SS,

I remember a Colonial buddy of mine from Pittsburgh who posted that before. I think it may be one. It is brass, so I think it may be late 1700s to early 1800s.

Certainly looks like one

Kyle, WTG on another Half Cent and a great group of relics also, the barrel key is a goodie for sure, and amazing how the items found are all so similar at the sites we hunt.

It's about time. I thought I was going to have to post for you. Half cents seem to be flying out of the ground for us.

Don, it is now obvious that this Rev War vet had a keg of ale at his house for him and his drinking buds. Yup, Southern NJ isn't much different from Central PA when it comes to Colonial relics found.

SS, thank you for the ID!

You do dig buttons!

I'm very content when I have a day like that because I know I had a chance at something killer.

Something very good on the way for you guys before the end of 2009.

Killer halfie Kyle'dude
Have you got a date off it yet ?

That barrel tap key is cool as well Think about it ... if it weren't for grog and ale your finds would be alot less !
( hammered colonial citizens consuming mass quanties of home-made brews and grog staggering around the Pennsylvania taverns dropping coppas and wilvers and barrel tap keys while wearing overcoats with missing butt-ins ( buttons ) for KKC to dig up 300 years later !!! )
