Hello all!

I spent the day with Dan and George... We 10 + hours with George... Dan had prior camping plans and share a few hours with us... He did nab a nice deep KG II or III...

Its a site I've been to 3 times this year on private posted property...

This buckle was my last target... 12/27 12/29 @ 9-10"

Nice piece...

Now on to the coppers... I was on fire and they seemed to all pop pretty quickly... I was gridding a section that appeared to be the front yard... Same area that Dan nabbed his copper...

This one looks like its a King George I (1714-1727)

This is a bust face left... and if you loot at the reverse top... I can see a crown... Any thoughts?

Looks like King George I and II Coppers. The first looks like a Dump issue King George I, but I could be mistaking... also looks like you scored a KG II Hibernia in your last photo! Nice finds :wink:

Dan was only there for 2-3 hours... He nabbed a baby head KG II, George for a KG and a nice small crotal bell...
