Hi folks
Can anybody help me ID the items in pic's 1/2.
Dug from area of pasture yesterday.same session turned up lead spindle whorle, George V shilling,and the bullet in pic 3.
Pic 1 has what looks like the word copper on it, some sort of token perhaps ?
Pic 2 seems to have some sort of flower showing.
The bullet has 3 rings, any way of telling caliber or possible weapon ?
(A lot to ask I know, )
Thanks in advance.

Had another look at item in pic 1, in different light,
Letters seem to be CQPPE .also has milled edge.

Hi "Artcat",sorry can't help with coin(s) but the bullet, had a search on line and it could be from an early Smith and Weston rifle,also it could possibly be ammunition for a classic Winchester rifle,middle 1800's..onwards,but I will stand correction if any one else has other ideas.nice find whatever !!👍

The first one is a fragment of a copper token, from 1811 or thereabouts. Something like this, but there were several companies that issued similar:

Excellent ID Doc, many thanks.
Were these tokens used as cash ?

Sad story there artkat. At one time most workers, copper, pits etc where paid with these tokens. They were only exchangeable at the owners 'shops'. So in effect they worked for thier supper. Not much change for goodies.
