I returned to the old home site I posted about last week where I had found an 1800's one-cent trifecta (one LC, two Flying Eagles, and one Indian Head). In that previous string, I commented that I hoped to return and find my first 1700's coin. Well, I went back a couple days ago to continue my search. I found two more LC's (1854 and 1853) and a 1773 Virginia Halfpenny! It took me awhile to ID the VA coin as I had never dug a King George coin before. The photos are not the best, and I hope to get some more detail with some additional cleaning; but I checked off a major bucket lister with that one! The property owner is allowing me to basically come and go at will, so you can believe me when I say that I'm going to wear that ground out!
