I found this one metal detecting near Kingston, Ontario a month ago. After doing some research on it, it is a re-designed crown, double aquaduct variety, if anyone can offer more info or correct my findings I would be grateful, ty, cheers. Jon

Dia, approx 26mm
Weight approx 6.13
Note; the place where I found it was not settled until around 1800ish and I also found half a dozen early 1800 copper tokens and cents. I wonder if this coin was a good luck pocket coin.

The provenance certainly suggests it may have been a pocket piece. Of course back then there was no numismatic value and it was still a silver coin. So perhaps extended circulation is the case.

Ty Bob, that makes sense, where I found these was between a rock and the river bed where I'm thinking that was where the clothes were washed, I also found about 25 approx 1815-1836 English Royal Navy military buttons. Some still have parts of the gilding intact and makers names and marks on the back.
