Got out today to a Baltimore Co. rec field where I have previously recovered 3 British coppers and a shoe buckle frame. Concentrated today on the one field that yielded the frame and 2 coins. Today I dug another half penny and it looks like a George I. What do you think?

Another good find. You never know what was on those rec fields before until you dig it up. I have had some nice old goodies from playing fields here in the west.

Congratulations and keep swingin.

You'd think, but it's just the effect of shining a light from the side of the coin and shooting in a darkened room. First saw that used on Stealthdiggers.

Thanks Possum! One British copper for 40 clad coins dug is a ratio I like.

Thanks CRUSADER! Figured you'd know what a George I half penny would look like.
