I found these items over the past couple of weeks in the small yard of a more modern house where you wouldn't expect to find anything. Found out that it was built over the site of a 1700s/1800s country store. Lots of trash, so I have to take my time to be able to ID good targets. This is my fourth piece of a Spanish Reale from this area, but this time I got the last two digits of the year, 24. So I am presuming it is 1724. The Connecticut Copper was lodged between three large tree roots and it probably took me 20 minutes or more to get it free. Unfortunately, I scratched it:mad: Date on the LC is 1834 and the IH is 1893. The more ornate colonial button was an eyeball find, sitting right on the surface at the base of an old tree.

Thanks for looking.
