Oldest Post Colonial, Silver and a Little Angel

[Old Dude]

Hi all. Hope everyone's week has got off to a good start. Mine has! I obtained permission today from a coworker to hunt his Mother's property. She was killed by a drunk driver either last year or the year before. It is a very nice place with huge yard, many huge old trees and little pockets of gardens scattered over 2+ acres. After work, I managed about 2 1/2 hours before dark. I am happy with the results. Thanks for looking!

What is it, a Liberty Cap?

 

[Old Dude]

It has been tentatively ID'ed as a draped bust LC by one member, but two believe it to be a Liberty Cap.

Alright, give me a hint. What's that old copper you got there? I never find them so I need to ask.
Great job Dave. That little angel was meant to be. I bet you just scratched the surface at that place.
Congrats on some great recoveries,
Doug

P.S. Speaking of gardens, Quindy told me he asked Dman to plant two-lips many a time.

Thanks, Doug. I was quite pleased with the LC, lol. The owner told me the house on the property was either very late 1940's or early 1950's. He gave me the old " I really don't know what you'd find, but have at it!". I knew there was activity in the immediate area from at least early 1700's, so I wanted to try.

Yes, it is a Draped Bust now that I look at it closer and with more scrutiny. I'm quite rusty after 25+ years of not studying coins like I did with my brother back in the day.

Great finds! A large cent and some silver in the same hunt is pretty cool.

Thank you, Sir! I was hoping for some late silvers but the LC was a nice surprise. The Washington still has a nice reeded edge.

[Old Dude]

No, this is south of where you left your car, lol! When I texted you, all I could see was a little of a right facing bust, and I immediately thought KG III.
