    I was metal detecting in MASS and found these 9 coins in a burlap piece. They have been there since 1700’s and prior. I have one coin that the date is 1735 I just don’t read the language I looked up one of HY coins but it’s weird to find weird coins like this buried all at once. Any info ?

    Top - left I dunno, right French
    Bottom - right - Russian Kopek, Right can't make out.

    Pictures of both sides of the coin would help also, FYI.

    EDIT - They were all found together? If that's the case, with the "youngest" of your coins showing 1904, I doubt they have been there since the 1700s.

    Ok I’ll post both sides. The 1904 one was not found in that batch it was found in CT when I was surveying.
