Earlier today I was exploring a new wooded area. I have found colonial era relics and coins nearby, but not exactly in this same location. About 60 minutes into my hunt, I came across a solid, repeating " 77" on my AT-Pro. It sounded good, so I dug it. Out popped a large copper ( 7 grams, 27 mm). After some very gentle cleaning at home, I was able to see enough detail to confuse me...At first I thought it was a KG III, but after some fevered internet searching, I think I have found a William III Half penny! I would greatly appreciate any help in confirming (or rejecting) this ID. Also- Any recommendations for further cleaning/ preserving would be appreciated. Thanks and HH.
