What's the worn-slick piece to the right of the Morgan, and what's the half coin? I think I remember joking about your half coin, but I forget what it was, now.

PS- with the amount of silver you dig, I am surprised you only have one SLQ.

LM the slick one is a quarter but of what variety I don't know??
It is so smooth you can't pick out any detail when I first dug it up I thought it was a knock out until I looked at the side and saw the reeded edge.
The half coin is half a seated dime never could find the other half

Bravo Tom!

I'm amazed at all the non detector finds you have picked up in a years time!

Something like that would drive me bananas- I'd have the thing under a microscope, looking for the faintest clue of some design element.

I have a smooth and slightly porous old copper I dug out of a colonial road, once. Pretty much featureless. But since I don't find much from the 1700s (particularly back when I found it) and this was obviously from that era, I scanned and scrutinized and held it to all kinds of oblique lighting and everything. After examining it for probably an hour, I came to the conclusion that I thought I could see the very, very faintest, ghostly outline of a bust on one side-invisible to regular eyesight or a camera or scanner- you had to have the light just so-and I think that outline is the bust of Louis XVI of France. Comparing its relative diameter to pieces in the Krause catalog, I believe it is a 2-sous piece from the 1780s or early 1790s. I do love a riddle like that sometimes, but they can also be maddening.
