~1700's KG copper..Amazing SLQ Silver...From the Curb Strip~

Today I broke my slump in a BIG way. BadJim met me at 7am for some more curb strip hunting. We hit an old section of town. First curb....FIRST target was a 12-41 on my etrac...about 4" deep, a classic wheat penny signal.

But boy was I wrong! Cut the plug flipped it open and I saw big copper! Never in a million yrs did I dream I would EVER get a 1700's KG copper in my town.

I can't read the date, can someone narrow down the mintage years for this design for me? This is now my oldest coin ever, last year I dug a 1773 Virginia Half Penny....I believe this coin is older than that..hope I am right.

The very next house's curb, I get a shallow 12-46, 47 reading, which I assume is a clad quarter just under the grass....WRONG again! I stuck my digger in the ground and just pushed the dirt up and out came a silver quarter, what a shock, and it turned out being a beautiful 1929 SLQ, best one I have ever dug.

A lil while late I nabbed the silver rosie and 3 wheats......and a bunch of clad. Absolutely a great day, I am on cloud nine!
