Counter stamped copper.

[Fattony315]

Went out for a hunt at a foundation, I have already detected last year. Foundation sits right on a creek. I crossed the creek and detected a side hill. After finding 10 bullets, I got a 70 signal on the at pro, swing again no signal. the 70 vdi hit every other swing. Pinpoints 8inches so I dig down and out pops a large cent. Out of the hole it reads 85. I don't know what kind of copper, is it a King George? It does have an AB stamped on the front of it. First counter stamped coin. Pocket full of bullets and 1 counter stamped large cent.

Nice snag
