    Cars, clad and silver! Oh, & King me!!

    Hello everyone,

    Al here. I went out to a local park and found some cars and clad. Just before I left, I found the silver bracelet laying on the surface. Not too bad... On my way back home, I stopped by my favorite field for a few minutes. I was there for maybe 20 minutes when I got that beautiful sound ringing in my ears once again! I dug down about 5 inches and out pops this 1781 King George III Half Penny! This makes 10 Colonial Coppers for me so far this year! YEE HAA!!!

    H.H.

    Al

    Nice job. Lots of booty, but those are some killer cars too. Smokey and the bandit style.

    Nice hunting.

    I don't know much about the KG's,

    But that looks like it might be counterfeit.

    And that is not always a bad thing.

    What's the accurate weight of a King George III?

    Re: Cars, clad and silver! Oh, & King me!!

    Congrats on your 1781 King George III Half Penny Al!
    I hope it turns out to be the real deal for you!
    I know how much you guys in the US love finding the old English coppers!

    But me, I'm partial to this beautiful silver bracelet!

    Best of luck to you Al,
    Dave

    I love hunting old relic sites . . . as I feel
    the imprint of past lives often linger there.

    I view relic sites as windows to the past, sacred places
    in a way, yet at the same time attesting to the reality
    that the past is still very much a part of our today!
