King George coppers. WOW... man o man you are one lucky guy. Congrats on finding multiple coins, in one day, that I will most likely never find in lifetime.

You should treat yourself to a steak tonight. GL&HH.

You got something WAY better than CW bullets. You just wait and see how many people comment on this thread. You think that you got chicken... indeed, you have a golden goose!!! I am very jealous.

Post some good pics, and one of the "real deal" guys on this site will ID those bad boys for you. Try putting a flash light on them from the side, to bring out the details (shadows).

Once again, congrats on the spectacular finds.

That area you were hunting definitely dates back further than the Civil War. Any place where you're unearthing King George coppers is a sweet place that has some age to it. Go back and hunt it some more. I bet there's some Spanish silver there as well. :thumbsup:

Thanks guys. I'll post other pics soon. Im in south central Pennsylvania. I went over this spot last week and today I walked circles in the field instead of straight lines like the last time I was there. Lol I have a Garrett pro but I find more with the Garrett 350. I don't know why. I'm a newb. Thanks for all help I need it.

Looks like you have at least one George II and one George III. Can't tell on the other piece. FYI, many of the George III pieces that circulated were counterfeits. You can usually tell because they were thinner and contained less copper. Nice finds.
