Went out this evening for a few hours at my favorite spot. The ground was moist from yesterdays rain so I decided to hit the area that I found the two colonial coppers earlier in the season. I changed my strategy a little this time and bumped up the discrimination just enough to tune out some of the iron bits and pieces I was digging before. It seemed to work because about an hour into the hunt I got this nice George II copper dated 1734! It was 6 or 7 inches down and was a real surprise when it popped out. Usually I will get a quarter reading on a copper coin like this but the signal was jumping around a little so I figured it wasn't a coin. In this case I'm happy to be wrong. The pictures really don't do it justice but this coin has great detail. I think it must have been lost when it was quite new. The other coins that came out of this area (within 50FT) were 1723 and 1695ish (no date visible). I wonder if there's still more there?
