Luck o' the Irish! Some colonial coins and relics from my field!

[Pacivilwarluke]

After supper dad and I decided to head back to our colonial site for an hour or two. Oddly enough we didn't find any buttons, but still did pretty well! I got a little buckle that looks really old, and then dad nailed an Irish Hibernia copper :happydance01:! I then got my own copper, with a KG II :thumbsup01: I got a decent signal a while later which I thought would be a button but instead dug a thimble. Isaac helped me with IDing it, he said it was an open top thimble and research showed that it was possibly colonial! I got a little musketball and that was it for the day. We had fun, this should be our last hunt until we head up to RI! HH!

Well I would say that was a nice after supper treat!

Great coins!!!!!

Any detail on the front of the halfpenny/halfpence? Or just too toast to get a date or a range of dates from the ID?

Thanks for the awesome link! :) I think it's a George II, bust faces left. I'll get better pictures when I get home, the front is pretty toasty though. HH!

That's some serious dinner dessert! Outstanding hunt and pic of overall finds :clapping: You got the thimble bottom, didn't someone just dig a thimble top?

[Isaac]

Awesome finds once again, Luke!

thanks drew!! Yeah, I think somebody did just find one! I found out that Mine is actually supposed to be that way from Isaac! It's called a tailors thimble. The example here is older than mine I'm sure.

WTG Luke!

[Isaac]

Wow! Two coppers and a sweet colonial thimble! Not bad at all!!! Congrats man! Always glad to help a friend :beerbuddy:

[Isaac]

Oh and the buckle is definetely period... by the looks it's most likely early 18th c., something most people in the U.S. won't find (including me... yet ;) )

congrats on the "topless" thimble far more uncommon then the other kind , check out the UK datbase on that buckle it might be an oldie as well Luke . congrats on the coinage too!
