HollowPointred, The King & I -- 1733 in Nice Shape!
Had a great Saturday detecting with Hollowpointred, who came up from Deleware. You may have seen his post. He got some great coins. We were detecting a site along the Hudson River and I got a good, coin-sized signal and dug out this very nice King George II, 1733, my second KG II in two weekends (got 1730 weekend before). The back is much better than the front, which is fine with me since I'd prefer to be able to see the date on older coins. This is my best shape old coin ever for a clear date. Also pictured is a button with shield I found not long ago, it still has some gold coloring guilt on it, but hard to tell in the photo. It's almost as thick as a bottle cap. Bergie (Another plug for my contest, look under Games and Contests section...5th clue is coming on Thursday to find the large cent, 2 cent piece, V nickle and Merc dime I hid all in one place.)

somehow i get the feeling that you will find a few more old colonial coins before the end of this years detecting season!
Congrats on that coin! Love that button too!
