Inspiration to get back out there...frozen or not...although in these conditions picking the right target to dig will be necessary...no iffy signals.

Yes, I should mention I only dig very good signals, but this is also a site without much modern trash.

It's just a flat green disc, nothing readable on it any longer...happens quite a bit up here with those coppers under certain conditions. Will never know...

Even with lost metal through corrosion its too light for a William III. I would say a George II. If you give me the exact Diameter, I will narrow it down?

OK, at that wait & size. It can only be two possibilities (UK):

1717-1724 George II Halfpenny.

An immitation George II or III Halfpenny.
