Half Dime, 1/2 Reale, George Hibernia and Goodies

[SouthJerseyJim]

Today was a long, warm, T-shirt kind of day. Mom, Arty and I hit up Dandy Hill for a few hours today and ended up with a small handful of relics. We decided to hit up our Field of Legends area one more time as we were turned down for permission on another field. This is a field that we have walked for a few hours in the past but didn't think highly of it. Well detecting in the rain must have made the detector gods happy because there were signals all over that we had missed. I got into a nice grid pattern of buttons and some copper coins and tokens. Later in the day is when I eeked out the 1840 half dime (my first seated half dime). Its in beautiful shape. On the way back to the truck soild 80-81 on the T2 and this little beauty of a spanish pops out. Its a newer one I think 1806ish GIIII. Ended up with a good amount of silver coins and silver doodads. The token I believe is a harrison campaign token with the log cabin. The one coin is clearly a George Irish and the other 2 have me stumped. One says 1833 but weird stuff on it and the other big ass coin dwarfs the half penny. I though it was a cartwheel but its not thick enough and the edge is diagonally reeded. Any ideas?

You had one heck of a hunt! Congrats to you all and I hope someone ID's that monster coin soon.

Wtg.Very nice finds.HH.

 

[BigWaveDave]

most likely the 1833 is a "Hard Times Token", awesome finds bud

 

[Iron Patch]

Agree, probably a hard times token. Should be easy to match even just with the few letters you can see. The Hibernia is 1805, and the large one maybe a Russian Kopeck? Hard to see.

Good hunt. Agree with the others on it looking like a token. Very cool. That place gives up good stuff from all eras. Can't wait to get out.

Thanks, very hard to see anything Identifiable on the large coin except for the edge and a few raised areas on either side.

Great finds. Love the musketball with the ramrod impression.

 

[SouthJerseyJim]

Thanks Rebel. Musket ball looks like the day it was dropped and I noticed the ram rod mark and thought the same thing as you.

Nice mix of silver and copper, hope someone can help you with the ID on the large copper.
