Paul, bet the Isle of Wight detectorist was really surprised when he cleaned the coin off. Maybe brought to UK as "look what those colonists are doing"? I did notice some, in poor condition, were from shipwreck. Now I know what they look like in case I find one <joke, as I think we were still stone age, back then, here> Sue

Sue:
Back in 1974, I was detecting in Providence RI, where an old church had been bulldozed down and had just found a William and Mary coin and my heart jumped when a perfect Oak Tree was uncovered... Turned out it was a reproduction produced by an oil company and given away at gas stations... They produced several different colonial coins and fooled me several times over the years. But it was a thrill for a while.. LOL I spent a lot of time detecting all over New England (at the invite of several organizations and one state legislator) in preparation for the bicentennial year celebration. I even hunted all the way up to Ft Henry in Kingston ONT and fort #4 in NH.

Bet finding that coin was a 'thrill for awhile"

that oil company with it's reproductions probably excited/fooled several other people detecting, too!
