Awesome Copper Day!
Today, Me, Tim, Don, and Dan went to our field of dreams. We hunted together for about 4 hours and got some nice finds. This was by far my most productive day in the copper department! Tim ended up with two Large Cents and a merc. Don got a Large Cent. Dan got a really nice sterling belt buckle. I ended up with 3 large Cents...an 1820, 1845, and an 1852. I also got an Upper Canada trade token from 1833. I got an 1863 Civil War Token, a store token from Cincinnati, and a Jap Rose soap token. My last find was an 1882 Indian Head that was on top of the ground! OK...Now! What in the world is that large copper coin??? It measures 35mm and is the same thickness as a large cent... but, much bigger than a large cent! I'm baffled, so I hope that someone that digs more coppers than I do can tell me what it is??? Here's the pics!

Daddy digger nailed it. Turns out to be one of those British cartwheel pennies.

Jeeze I'm first to reply and still beat to it. Yes, it has a very distinctive edge, and as long as the size and weight match you can pretty much ID it... although there is a few other similar coins... some from the Isle of Man, and other British one penny tokens. But chances are when one is found it's going to be the 1797 cartwheel we're all familiar with.
