    Is it or isn't it.... A Copper :huh:

    Hello all...

    I got out last night in hopes of recovering my man hood (as I had gotten skunked badly the previous night)...

    I nabbed 4 wheaties, a deep cooper ring, and a copper ??

    [attachimg=1]

    This site was one of the earliest in the area, but the oldest items I've recovered are back to 1810-1820... and most f the items are more late 1800's...

    I say that as this coin looks like a mid to late 1700's piece of copper... *shrug* ... or perhaps is a game token or something else...

    I can't see much on the coin...

    Here is it next to a CT Copper and a 1750 KG II

    [attachimg=3]

    This copper is on the top and appears to me a MM or 2 larger... KG II is in the middle, and CT Copper on the bottom...

    [attachimg=4]

    Mystery coin/item on Left - KG II on the Right...

    [attachimg=6]

    CT Copper on the Left and Mystery coin/item on the Right...

    [attachimg=7]

    Here is the old Copper Ring...

    [attachimg=8]

    I think it was a coin (copper) but I'll let others chime in...

    Yep, it's a copper and your ring is what they call a whistle ring but yours is missing the top.

    yeah yeah yeah... Funny thing about your post... I am a black and white, literal, logical kind of guy... Every time I've seen your forum name here, I always tilted my head and said to myself... whatever... but your responding to a large copper / large cent post made me finally get it...
