A King and three Indians

[Mi$terG]

This post is actually for my last two hunts which were on Sunday and earlier today. After reading Abe's post from yesterday I was really fired up to get out to some of my older sites. As I was walking along I got a strong 84 signal at about 6 inches. It was definitely a coin and when I started to brush the dirt off of it I recognized Britannia- a colonial era copper! It turns out to be a 1749 KGII- just my third colonial copper ever. Unfortunately I dinged it with my digger but it's still in pretty good shape- the date is very sharp and the lettering around the rim on both sides is clear. To finish up my hunt I got a strong quarter signal at 8 inches. I was thinking that maybe finally I would be getting a quarter out of the site- but to my complete surprise when I got the target out of the hole I realized that I had another Indian- a very sharp 1868. Sunday's hunt at the same site produced two other Indians: and 1881 and an 1891 that was bent into a love token. Not bad for just over three hours worth of hunting! Thanks for looking.

Wow nice King George II, amazing that the Founding fathers were still young men when that thing was minted. Washington himself was just 17 at the time.
