Hey everyone,

I decided to go back to the spoon site today and hit a cart path in the area which turned out to be productive. I managed a 1952 D Quarter, a buckle, a musket ball, and what I believe is a counterfeit KG Halfpenny which is on the toasty/worn side but I'm happy and thankful to find it nonetheless. :thumbsup: Thanks for looking and HH! :sunny:

Update~Thanks to Iron Patch's ID skills it turns out the copper is a William III Halfpenny!

I think you might be right IP, I'm not certain what it is but it does look a bit like like a 1700 William III HP. The back is in rough shape but here's some pics anyways in case it helps.
