Corn field finds; so happy to detect in New England again!

Just returned from Florida, where the metal detecting was difficult, to say the least. I must have dug a thousand pulltabs and amassed jars of clad... fun, yes, but no relics to be found.

So it was with great pleasure I headed out detecting with my sister (her first time out) to the cornfield, and it did not disappoint. Along with the old nails and knick knacks, I found a cufflink, an old child's ring, a wheatie from 1919, a dated crotal bell from 1878, and a really old copper, I'm pretty certain from 1749. It says Georgius II rex, and Britania on it. I'm so happy, just wanted to share. I'm not sure yet, but I think my sis may be hooked now too, lol, so I'll have someone to detect with from now on.

Yes, I think she was bit by the bug. Even though she didn't find anything too great today, she was there when i dug the George II copper and seemed as excited as me.
 

Good job by you!....
The ring is very cool
 

Congrats on some great finds, and introducing your sister to the hobby.
 

Cool KGII copper ! In decent condition for a dog coin, nice Crotal bell!! Congrats and HH
