My Holy Grail "1382" Half Penny

I just got my Explorer SE yesterday and after reading the instructions last night I took it out today for it's virgin hunt. Imagine my surprise when I pulled out of the ground the rarest coin I have found yet.

Though it is in rough shape, as all of the coppers are, I can positively identify is as an 1832 Imitation King George IV Thistle Half Penny with the 1382 error date! It was found in my own field at 9 inches where I have found 8 other colonial tokens. I wish I could get a better picture of the date and the detail but my photographic abilities are not quite up to snuff.

That is awesome, I bet your loving that new machine. Did you have an Explorer before? If not you conquered that learning curve pretty quick.
