Wow! I had no idea i was going to go out today and find a old copper, but i found two!!!. I was hunting today on a property in Boyce,Va. on a 1800's farm, with a church that was built in 1810 bordering the property. I was in the field by the church when i found a large flat button, i was thinking now im in the right spot. almost 1 hr went by before i came acrossed the Connecticut which gave me a solid $1 signal 4 inches down, i was thinking it was going to be a silver, but to my surprise out popped a big copper. I was unable to read anything on it untill i got home and was able to clean it and say to words Connec. and my heart skipped a beat! About 20 feet from the Connecticut i got another good signal just a little bouncy, but i dug it. I could not believe when i got it out and i could see a outline of face. I had a water bottle on me so i ran some water on it, then i saw George. Wow i could not believe that i had found a King George copper. I searched that area hard with no luck, so i started walking up towards the house when i came acrossed another big flat button. I found nothing else besides the broche thing with the "diamonds" in it. any help on that would be great. After i got home and could research on the coins i found that the Connecticut was a "Snipe Nose" variety. http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinText/CT-Copper87-2.html The King George II was made (1727–1760) and was a Farthing. http://www.petitioncrown.com/GEORGE_II_COINS.html
