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.

Aureus, if all these were from the same general area, you've got a killer spot! The coins are really nice but love the pipe bowl.

I agree, that small area is crazy rich in finds. The pipe bowl is one of my favorite finds since I've started detecting.

You always seem to find interesting and unusual items. I always look forward to reading your posts. The pipe bowl looks to be in amazing shape and the 2 cent piece is a very nice save. Congrats

Thanks Hawks

That pipe is killer! Congrats on another plate. Keep it coming!

Thanks Silver Tree Chaser. I wish I could ID those plates a little better. Not much info available on Victorian military relics.

Great finds. The pipe bowl is amazing and you do a great job of cleaning those coins.

Yhanks Gene Mene. I think the soil type helped a lot.

Loved all the pictures. Really nice post. Man, you still continue to get over the coolest stuff. I’m jealous of where you live and the history you have available to you!

Thanks man. I'm really lucky to be on the East Shore as the detecting finds seem to be way older and numerous. But I'm a bit jealous of the nice stone points guys in the West tend to find, I don't get many of them.
