1739 KG II Halfpence Found At a 'hunted-Out" Site

I went for a brief hunt at a favorite site not expecting to find much of anything since I have considered the site pretty-much hunted-out.
It just goes to show that if you stop hunting a site because of that, you do so at your own peril.

This coin was about 5" down, under a big rock that was under a few roots. It took some effort to dig it out, and I'm glad I didn't hit it with my
shovel and digger. I was amazed at the amount of detail that was visible right out of the ground!


Iy you have a favorite site-don't give up on it!

I hit the fields that have given me my KGII's as often as the crops will let me lol. I can go an hour between targets and still enjoy walking them. Your coin has some very nice detail. Congrats!

Nice copper! I still hit old spots at random and find the occasional keepers. But with keepers like that. I would definitely keep them as spots for the days you have no where else to go.
