1749 KG II and 1773 VA HP Coppers found together on last hunt VIDEO and PHOTO

[{Sentinel}]

Well, I couldn't find my camera so instead I took this short video of my finds. Hopefully I can locate my missing camera to give you guys some better closeups. UPDATE--Used my DV to take a photo located below video.

This was an exciting dig. Went down to the Southside of the James and in the first 5 minutes there, I got a deep iron reading and dug it out and when I popped it out, the King George II was underneath it and popped out too. I then dug the 1773 Virginia halfpenny about an hour and a half later. I was happy and is a great way to finish out the year!

Josh,
Awesome job on the two coppers. A BIG congrats! I think I would have p-ssed myself if I got into the 1700's.
Way to go on a super hunt buddy,
Doug

Those are some great finds there, my friend. I have always wanted to find a VA halfpenny, but never gotten my searchcoil over one.

Cheers,

Thanks Will my friend. I've been blessed enough to come across 2 in the past 6 months. You never know, you may come across one near your moms house one day.
P.S. That cellar hole on your post is a "SITE" to behold. Did you wonder upon that by chance or did you see it on the maps?

 

[Rusted_Iron]

Great coppers! I like all the finds... that iron should clean up nicely with some electrolysis. I liked the video and the photos.

 

[VOL1266-X]

Josh, it's going to hard to top that feat in 2010-even where you hunt. WTG and Merry Christmas!!!

 

[The Patriot]

Good mixtures of finds there! coins look to be half descent and the key is neat...

 

[Hill Billy]

WTG on those early coppers. I'm gonna find a 1700's coin one day, just not today have to work.
Might take hunting the NE for that to happen though.

Well done Josh. It must be nice to still be able to detect. That's a nice way to finish the year.
