    75th COPPER*KGII*COUNTERFEIT SEATED QTR & another 1820 GEN.LAFAYETTE BUTTON

    Got out with sniffy back to 2 old sites that I been to in the past.there's so much area between these 2 adjoining cellar holes you can spend years trying to cover all the ground in the stone walled fields adjacent to each cellar hole.
    anyways we both had a good day! sniffy got a copper and a 18kt gold wedding band.
    I got a 1744 King George II copper,a counterfeit pewter seated liberty quarter & another 1820 General Lafayette button.this is my 4th!
    a crotal bell and a dog sportsman button.
    75 coppers on the year

    A bunch of great finds there, WTG! I am always amazed at the counterfeit and lead seated coins that are out there and that are dug, although not that often, it is telling of how many must have circulated back in the day.

    Dave , i'm not sure if the button is more valuable being off a bit . the seated coins are the most counterfieted types of coins , i think even more than the reales .
