Silent field revisited

[pulltabsteve]

Rain yesterday was supposed to stop by 9am. It was still misting at noon so Mike and I were detecting in a muddy mess! We wanted to try that field we went to a few weeks ago that I had the silent hunt with no signals after digging a few buttons and musket ball the previous day.

I only got 2 coins yesterday but they're old so we now know this field holds some goodies. The fertilizer took its toll on these 2. I can't get the dates off of either yet, but I believe picture 1 and 2 is a Hibernia, harp on left 1722. The last picture is an early Large cent facing left,1793-1807.

We are heading out now to an early 20th century private home to look for some silver. Have a great day everyone!

Congrats on two old coppers. The Draped Bust might be a 1798 if that is an 8 that I think is the last digit. Also the Hibernia may be a George II Hibernia Irish half penny. Here is a picture of what that one may be. Congrats on both!

George, I think you are 100% correct, on both!:clapping: Thanks.

You should be able to make out a date on the Hibernia. You don't have to worry about the left side it will always say 17 :lol: but the right side may give up the last two numbers for you to have a complete date. Just keep tilting the coin in all directions and in different light conditions and you may see the digits clearly.
