Mint Civil War 2 cents, my personal bucket lister,early coppers and militaria

[Aureus]

Had a good two days week-end hunt with a nice variety of coins and relics. After 5 years of detecting, found my personal bucket lister. Despite lacking any monetary or historical value, this relic was pretty high on my list.

Anthropomorphic clay pipe bowl from mid 1800's



Found a good mix of early coins.

Almost mint Civil War period 2 cents 1864 (meant to say Civil War period in the title of the post as well, sorry for the confusion)



It's my second 2 cents coin in as many weeks. When I compared the two after getting home, had a pleasant surprise. One of them has 180 degrees rotation error being struct as a ''medal'',not a coin.
(the one on the left)


My second American was way younger but again in a great conservation state. 1891 Liberty Head or ''V'' nickel.



An other first, VICTORIA NOBIS EST 1811-1813 Halfpenny



Lower Canada 1837 Halfpenny in an OK shape



And 1782 Hibernia Halfpenny (at first it looked like the coin was used as a button, but I believe those marks could be from a bird shot)



A couple of other coins, eight in all



Did find a few nice military relics

An other plate from 1830's-1850's ( first one for me of this type)



Two more V buttons



Again 1830's-1850's 1st Regiment of Volunteer Militia



Victorian PR button (provincial rifles?)



An other decorative military chain



And one that looks more solid and functional (maybe was attached to a sabre/sword?)



Mysterious C.H. plate



Early medicine bottle



And my detecting buddy. As you can notice, he was wearing the same style of gloves as I did.



Thanks for the comments.

You are correct on the commonality of the error in 2 cent pieces. It is so common that it is not considered an error, its a variety

Once again, killer bunch of show and tell.could the smaller chain been from a shako hat? Looks very similar if you google it.

Unbelievable hunt, that 2 cent piece is in better shape than the ones that I've bought for my personal collection!

I believe they were made of brass, that might explain the better condition than most of the coppers I find.

You really get the good stuff. Super looking coins.

Nice digs!! I'm thinking those chains could also be curb chains for a horse bit

Thanks civilman1. I'm not sure the chain is strong enough for the horse, but maybe.

You might be right, looks very similar. Thanks!

Very impressive post! I live on a pond, so the sun turtle might be my fav pic- great job on the coins- that 2-center is perfect!

Thanks JeffInMass. It's a first time I see this type of turtle, at first thought it was a tiny snapper.

Those finds are incredible and got to love that pipe bowl.

Oh yes. That pipe is one of my favorite finds this year. Again, not valuable or historically significant, but something I always wanted to find.
