Another Mill site...UPDATE~1792 Camac Kyan & Camac Dublin Halfpenny,LC,etc...
Hey everyone,
Hit up a new mill site today for a bit and had a nice little hunt. I got an iffy signal in the range of a shotgun shell and out popped a worn copper to my surprise and I'm not sure what it is. Out of the ground it rang a solid 18 on my machine which is low for a copper making me think it's a counterfeit but I'm not sure, the last William III I pulled rang up in that range. The obverse is toast so I posted the best image I could come up with which appears to be a seated woman with some lettering visible near the edges. The letters
are tough to make out and part of the date is visible, looks a bit like 1701 but that's just a meager guess. Other than that I scored another toasted fattie, a toasty 1817 LC and
a frock/dandy button. Thanks for looking and HH everyone! ~~~~UPDATE~~~~ Thanks to Iron Patch's impressive coin ID'ing skills the mystery is solved! Thanks again IP and everyone for their input and comments as well, HH all.

It looks closer to this style to me... though still don't know that it is a match. Could you get a better photo? I'd love to know what it is - super finds!
I can just make out the INCOR exactly as shown in the coin you posted, everything else that I can see seems to be proportionate as well. Here's a scanner pic at an angle that might help to see the lettering...
