Hey all, found this on an old farm up in Maine. First signal by an old tree in the front yard

I'd love to know the date range of this beauty!!

Thanks AGAIN!

Specifically this is Hartill #22.254, so the range is 1754-1760.

My brother and I where cooling off in the meramec River outside of Eureka Missouri, sitting on a gravel bar when he found a Chinese coin like that one. There was an old RR track not too far.
