The coins, the size of a loonie...Is that smaller or larger than a bread-box? The referant, 'loonie', doesn't compute for someone from Texas.

The loonie is a Canadian coin, like a Silver Dollar.

It's a Canadian coin that represent a dollar - it has a loon on one side - ergo, a "loonie" - They also have a two dollars coin - with two different metals, one ring inside the other - I think they call it a "toonie" (my daughter and hubby - US Navy P3 pilot on Nato deployment are stationed in Nova Scotia)

The Canadian Loonie is 26.5 MM, which is a little over and inch in diameter.
I can't think of any New England gold coinage from the 1700's, most of it wasn't gold, and what was gold wasn't made by the colonies/states.
