George III 1806 Halfpenny and buttons from a new field

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

Today I hit a cut corn field that I got permission for yesterday. This spot is directly across the road from an early 1800's saw mill site. I do not have permission for that spot "yet". I was only able to do about an hour and the rain started My very last target dug was the copper. What a pain it is swinging between the cut corn stocks! My junk to keeper ratio is not too bad The buttons were poping up randomly and I kept saying to myself that there IS a coin here some where. As the rain started I said one more target. As luck will have it, I have my first George III 1806 Halfpenny One of the smaller flat buttons has a Levenworth backmark too, 1811 - 1827! The pottery shards were all eyeball finds and thought that the would look cool in the pic

Go figure your first George III is post 1775 which is much less likely where you are!

The best find could very well be yet to come.

Honestly... I don't think it is broken with an 1800s coin. Don't give in yet... get that 1700s Georgie!

I went back for another short hunt. It is only 5 min. from home.

Here are a few more buttons ! I will post the cleaned pics later

Man, looks like that George III was used in an impromptu utilitarian sort of way by someone! Congrats on the nice finds VPR

Very cool finds. New England seems to be rough on copper, but we take what we can get!

You are bound to dig a nice King George copper. Vermont is loaded with them. You are hitting the right sites, so I would just keep at it in a Colonial way.
