Fatty, Some Silver, Another Wiped Copper, and the Usual

[OxShoeDrew]

They cut the corn the other day so I spent the first part of the week at the parks and the second in the fields. The fatty looks to be 1864 (it didn't make the group photo- don't know why)and the copper might have some lines visible, what do you think?? There is a 30s dime and wheat, 64 rosie, good looking dandy button, looks like a carriage guide of some sort, a musket drop, but with flattened sides. Thanks for looking:notworthy:
EDIT PS Unexpectantly got out again this afternoon (2 a days!!:drool and found my SECOND FATTY of the day!...and two more Indians, and a cool hay seal. Now I think both fatties are 1863s, and another Indian is 1864...some old IHs! I think these are my 7th and 8th fatties...and not one flying eagle.

Interesting rein guide Drew. I can't help with the copper ! Though I can see what looks like the outline of the face.

Drew, 2 a days are great. Nice that the corn field is cut, still waiting for the cutting at another farm that I do. Do I see a 96 on the copper???? Of all the IH's that I have, I have only gotten 1 FE and that was in my backyard.

Terrific finds, Drew! I agree that both of the fatties look like 1863. :yes:

I like the lead bag seal too. Do you think it came all the way from Germany?

Nice scores, Drewsy. Those IH def look like '63s to me. Won't do any good to joke on the eye sight. Nice bale seal. That Item with the T is quite different. Like the design of that escutcheon. Buckles sometimes come in odd forms, eh? (The one with the button in the slot)

Thank you all! Jim, funny my whole family calls me Drewsy :lol:

Excellent finds Drew.

I was wondering... Here in Syracuse NY the earliest settlers were German (Hessian I believe). Of course since the early to mid 1800s we have been the proverbial melting pot. The area you are in, what group of immigrants were the primary first settlers?

Thanks Beartoe, the "Old CT Path" goes through the next town over from me. This was the first path The MA Bay Colony used to go inland....so the English were the first Europeans in our area. The central part of the Boston Post Road or "Middle Post Rd" also came right through here. The French were next to come to our area, and they came from Canada toward the end of the 1800s. The French have impacted our area almost as much as the English. When ATMs came out we had to choose between English and French. There are few German ancestors living around here. Odd that I found that German seal.

Great finds Drew! Well now...I've never found a fattie but HAVE found a Flying Eagle. Go figures the goofy aspects of this hobby! HH!
