Random recent field finds to identify

[bingbingbing]

Hi everyone - please help me ID these recent Massachusetts field finds!

My Google digging has me thinking the coin is a KGIII half penny?
I have no idea on the other items - the terrier looks like it may have some glue residue on the back...
I have no ideas on the other two items ...

Thanks for your thoughts!

The 4th & 5th pictures are a crushed lipstick tube I think. The third photo looks like it screws on the top of something.

I agree with lipstick tube... number 3 is a terrier?

#4 looks like a pipe tamper

The coin could be a Woods Hibernia 1720's half or farthing,George II, They were made for small change shortage in Ireland and rejected by the people and shipped for use in the colonies

If it appears to have writing all around on reverse side it could be Rosa Americana

on the obverse the acute angled bust cut off gives it away, as similar to the woods series rather than a regular issue.

Thanks for sharing - great document!
I'm convinced on your conclusion!
I found it just yesterday - my second 1700's era coin (first was a Connecticut copper).

Thats great, I found one in October, similar condition, a very historic find, when early settlers where starving for in hand currency, the Georges only cared for the merchant class, silver and gold coins, the colonial farmers were using anything that resembled currency until it was worn away, all their savings where is coins from all over the world and cointerfits, that may loose value, no wonder they revolted

I am in CT and still no CT copper

#4 looks like a pipe tamper

As an occasional pipe smoker, I don't think anyone would try tamping with something that had a hole drilled in the bottom. They are pretty much all flat on the bottom.

I agree ,I didn't see the hole. so I change my guess to a lamp finial
