1722 Rosa Americana Halfpence Vtile Dvlci, useful and sweet.Breen 132, he described it as William Woods Prototype halfpenny, some label it as a pattern, the only Rosa to use v's in the roman style
Almost uncirculated, environmental damage, Pistil dots at rose center are THE high point on this coinage, they look pristine. struck hot in 'Bath Metal', alloyed copper zinc tin antimony and who knows what else, woods claimed silver, modern testing has revealed none in his special alloy, which is similar to what turns up in xrf analysis of many circulating counterfeits of the early 18th C. (I Collect CCCs)
recovered w my minelab ctx at a parsons home kittery maine of which no visible signs or any map i could find left evidence. followed scattered iron signals to the patch at top of nearest high ground. many early colonial recoveries, brass furniture from a trade fusil flintlock, you know, the curvy serpentlike seamonster style sideplates, just like the one recovered from Sam Bellamy's pirate ship 'Whydah" off marconi beach cape cod, just google those words n youll see it, pix of it are in both whydah books i have.
a 1795 halfcent, thats right, the one with NO POLE! , two sandwiched cents 1800& an 1801 3 error stuck together, a 12k gold jesuit ring, a tiny smooth silver coin that i believe is a NE thruppence, (one known to exist I believe) that would be my 6th mass silver recovered round these parts, of course lots of lesser though interesting finds. I called it the parsons home cuz of a couple christian items and the Jesuit ring, AND it's located at the end of parsons road, park near the end, enter conservation area on the wooded side, over the low stone wall, and start searching for iron. you'll notice a
high area with a bit of granite ledge protruding,that's ground zero I cleared it fully, turned a quarter acre of loam over and removed a sh5tton of iron from the site, w pinpointer and recovery magnets, there's plenty of iron left, those flakes are like romulan cloaking,and there's sizzling power lines 100feet away, no doubt there's still treasure there for someone like me with patience skill and a small coil, I havent been there since2017, maybe 18, unexpectedly disabled, cant swing no more, so sad.
If you make it there message me w some details and I'll tell you about a larger, richer site across the river in NH
