Greetings All. Mostly hunting wooded areas, luckily avoiding ticks and landed a couple of toasted coppers. Thinner and larger one (colonial copper?) has no identifiable numbers or words and looks a lot to me that both the obverse and reverse has markings like pieces to a puzzle. The smaller one, after numerous electrolysis baths reveals only the N from ONE and NT from CENT on the reverse. The remaining crud seems as hard as concrete,so I've pretty much given up further cleaning as not to lose any remaining detail. Can just barely make out part of the wreath on the back and there are no stars on the obverse so I'm guessing it's an draped bust lc ,1807 or earlier. Both coins tid'd in at 36-37,relic mode/low density. Other finds,womans compact case with remants of a 4 yd tinsel wrap, Army lapel button, two plain buttons w/shanks,door handle. Other pic has a 1980 pre-decimal 5 pence,quality plate silver spoon,1911 wheatie, 1940 rabies vaccinated dog tag and a brass die bit engraved with 162,K 3/8 NM,YDS 4 W..? Thanks for viewing.
