Half of George II hibernia Half penny!

[adventureswithjim]

Checking some new spots in the woods for more colonials nets some nice goodies! More and more it's looking like this area was the cross roads of the colonial world...mixing spanish florida with brit colonies and various indian tribes. Today's finds included a spanish-style scarf hasp (the thing with the pins) and bridal rosette, a belt slide thing (the large decoraitve brass thing) and a 1760 george II Hibernia half penny...cut in half...would that make it a Farthing? I dunno...

The coin is totally trashed, worn to a nub, the outline of a harp is barely visible on the back, with a couple of letters "I" and "A", the number "17" in the right places for a Hibernia...means it's from Ireland, another colony heard from in this cross roads of the 18th century.

Fun day and as always a vid to go with it...

Nice finds, But i have to agree with sc shooter, Does not anyone else see the man in uniform that shows up about 4:17 and sits over Jim's right shoulder until about 4:40 and just kinda vanishes? I saw it Shooter saw it , Anyone else?........Hmmmmmm............

no such thing as ghosts, must be a spot on the cam lens or something!
