This is by far the best looking copper I have ever found. I was at my "honey hole" in PA scoping it out for a dig this weekend.

Well, this screamer of a signal just begged to be dug. I had my "good clothes" on so didn't want to get too rambunctious, just wanted to see what was in the ground. I found an aluminum can breeding grounds, and this is the only other thing I dug although this site is more CW than anything. This is the first early copper I have dug out of it.

1731 George II Halfpenny Full clear, date. Pics don't do it justice.

Here's another try:

Smokey that is a great coin. I would be so excited to find that. Great condition on both sides which is a rarity in my opinion. Very very nice!

That is a nice one and probably the first 1731 I've seen dug.
