British Colonial Silver!

[The Rebel]

Got out for a bit this am to a site I've hit in the past as it's a park & hunt site that has produced Large Cents, Barbers, Indians & Colonial Coppers.

Was swinging close to a stone wall when I got the hit and it was deep had to be about 6" or more, rang up I think in the 60's but when out of the hole was 75-76.

It's about 15/16 to 1" in diameter, so I believe it's a King William III or King George III but need the experts help. I'm so stoked to have found it as I never in a million years would I have expected to fine one of these.

Also got an 1899 Barber Dime & a button.

HH!!

Great find Roger , I believe from its size that its a William III half crown . a considerably sum of money back then .

Great find Rebel! It's hard enough to find a William III halfpenny, never mind a half crown !

Thanks Dan!

After doing some research at the below website & based on its approximate size of 15/16" (23.812mm) or 1" (25.4mm) I do believe it's a King William III Shilling (25.5mm).

Although I can't get the date his reign was from 1689-1702.
