More unknown coins/deco from the colonial chest area.

[Klclark3]

I finally had a day off long enough between rains also to make it to my colonial site back in the woods, the poison ivy spray killed it all the terror back, a way easier (and enjoyable) place to dig in now. I go back to my favorite section of the area (for good reasons it is) I call the chest area because I found rotted wood buried (could just of been a fallen tree) on top of rock layer, of flat cut rocks, and deco pieces in the same hole. But I go out from that about 2 feet (once home to dreaded ivy) and scan and got a weird hit in the 50's so I start to dig just thinking it was going to be another lead ball. so I dig down to the bottom til I hit rock and scanned my turned dirt and nothing was there in the pile, I put the coil back in the whole and it starts to bounce around again, normally everything is out when I hit that. So I start to move the rocks out the hole and and then dig a shovel full of dirt and turn it then three little copper pieces are on top of the dirt, so I pick them up and figured they were KG's so I head back to the house. I go and rinse them off and noticed they were funny looking, so I took a picture and came to ya'll for the answers.

We are going out now, so I will get Cru'dad to ID these tonight, shouldn't take long, although the bottom left is a near blank reverse. The top one is kind of blank, but it can only be 1 reverse type, ie. Victory Prow of boat', which will not be the case for the bottom one which could have many...
The spearing horseman is a pretty clear one for this late 4th C type, not bad really.

Looks like you found an old time coin collectors house, there is still hope that I won't have to go all the way to Europe!
