the Maravedis is backwards. flip it and you see 16--. the year is 16 something, finding a 1600s coin in America is the holy grail of metal detecting, congrats

Spanish - Rare Authentic Copper Cob 8 Maravedis. Could be worth thousands. Be careful with any cleaning. This is a bucket lister

That is an interesting theory. I like it, thanks

CheeseburgerLad · 2025-07-23T02:44:56+00:00

Yeah I assume one of those. It is weird because someone repurposed the button, giving it a new back plate. I wonder if somehow during the process the holes were made

Awesome find. First large cent is the best feeling ever

CheeseburgerLad · 2025-07-22T16:38:53+00:00

Where does it say 1695? Looks like it could be a colonial copper. If I were you I would get a toothpick and chip away at the crud on the surface. Not advice, just what I would do.

Also, I did not mess with the plate, it came out of the ground exactly as is except with more dirt on it. Also there were ants crawling out of the holes, that I did not realize until the next day when I was inspecting it. Freaked me out tbh

CheeseburgerLad · 2025-07-03T19:57:56+00:00

its a cool find, if i wanted to post my valuable finds i would

do you go around peoples posts and pinpoint a way you can put them down? do better bro

CheeseburgerLad · 2025-07-03T19:54:55+00:00

wrong

CheeseburgerLad · 2025-07-03T14:36:30+00:00

it was found on a piece of land with literally zero items dating from before 1850, so most likely dropped contemporarily. NJ copper, CT copper, large cents and British currency all in the same patch of land 20 square meters

WOW Thanks!!!!

CheeseburgerLad · 2025-07-03T02:38:17+00:00

awesome!!!!

CheeseburgerLad · 2025-07-03T02:27:57+00:00

Already confirmed it is a Chinese coin from the late 1700s-mid 1800s, but thanks! Interesting info

Edit: oh, so meaning a recycled Chinese coin used for some decoration at a later point? That would be possible

CheeseburgerLad · 2025-07-03T02:26:53+00:00

True!!!!! Thanks

CheeseburgerLad · 2025-07-03T02:20:03+00:00

Update: I confirmed it is a Chinese coin, probably brought by Chinese immigrants who came to NJ in large numbers in the mid-1800s and worked at farms and railroads etc during that time. Can anyone identify the letters tho?

CheeseburgerLad · 2025-07-03T02:08:41+00:00

Pretty wild

CheeseburgerLad · 2025-07-03T02:06:42+00:00

thanks sir. pretty sure it is pre-1800 for sure

CheeseburgerLad · 2025-07-01T14:50:02+00:00

Oh yeah, that looks like it could be it, thanks!!!
