  I'm always right! 

I found this furniture drop handle...Circa 1690-1715...I always liked the patina on it.

Here's mine, This token is 119 years ago. It's got that old genuine Western Americana look, and the patina goes well with it

I like em green 

This has to be the best patina on any coin I have dug... and one of my best coins too...

No but very nice sandy soil, the field must have recently been deep ploughed to lift them up. Also had some very nice condition coin weights in the same patch.

  I like both!   I've found many early coppers but those are two I have not got over.  The Charles II is just a little early for my area, amd the Woods Hibernia just doesn't turn up.  I've found several George I British,  and George II & III Irish, but can't find one of those early Hibernia coins.

   I know I'll eventually get the Irish as they turn up for my friends a few hours from me.  That said, it's not a big deal, just think it's weird how some things can avoid you.

My best patina

   Would probably fool a few. I don't think I've ever seen one that good, but most of mine get mixed around by the plow.

   It took me about 10 seconds thinking what the hell is that suppose to mean....  then it clicked! 

Not much green patina here more like earth tone colors thats all i have now i love those buffalo colors and IH,s Good Hunting Jim

Hi, I found this coin in a lot where an old house was torn down.  I got quite a few wheeties and marbles too.  I was working around the back of the foundation using my spectrum XLT with the Blue Max 600 coil, when I got a good signal.  It was a brass spigot.  Then I found 2 more.  When I got the signal from the coin, I thought it was another spigot.  I was surprised when this coin popped out at 3" in loose dirt.  Pretty nice for 100 years old. Thanks and good luck, Niffler.

heres a few of my greenies....love the colors in this post, great idea!!

Has to be this one!

so hard to choose just one,

This one is one of my more rememberable coins in 2008 as it was on my Birthday, plus its the Blackest Silver Roman coin I have ever had.  Very pleased with the beauty of it

New man on the board ,here you go...i hope the pic shows

dont laugh but you should see these
two coins in person, just beautiful !!

Due to our soil conditions most old copper English coins we find are badly corroded. But once in a while if we are lucky one like this pops up.

  That is a very nice one!

Can we see some better pics?  My opinion would be historic era hair pipe / tube.  Things did get traded, but it looks more like a rolled copper piece, rather than a hammered / formed copper piece.  Just my opinion and a great find either way.
