This farm should yield at least 20 coppers when the four detect-o-teers are finally done with it!

Looks like one of those coins Zoyboy bought off E-Bay.

Come on, Unc, how could that be? Paco was there to watch me dig it! hehehe

Kirk,
That thorough reply back from Don (and friend) was amazing. Now I can see why you waited for his reply.
Congrats again on that find Big Guy. Fantastic. I think you owe Paco a few Corona's.
Great hunt, great job.

Gotta throw my congratulations in here too. What a cool piece of history you've found there. Not to discount the other nice finds you've shared as well. Keep it up, there's gotta be a couple more nice old coins around that area.

Thanks, Paul, I have such a passion for this hobby and love to show it in my posts. All of my family members call me, "obsessed," but can you blame me? hehehe

I love uncovering the Colonial past. Paco and I have a great site to hit. I can't wait until he turns the field with his tractor. giggle

HH!

Nice old coppa. I wouldn't attemp cleaning as it has great detail as-is. I nearly destroyed the obverse on the only colonial I have found thus far while trying to bring out more detail.

Re: Rare George Washington Halfpenny (Update: Info from, Don in SJ)

Dan, I never clean my coins other than rubbing dirt off of them. I like the authentic look of some dirt along the edges.

So far, we have recovered 5 Colonials out of this field and about 20 Colonial buttons. Also, we have only detected 2 fields out of about 10 on their property.

The area where I found my Colonial is difficult to detect now. The corn is in your face and weeds are growing all over.

Just to update the forum: Paco's MXT is coming soon. He sent his M6 to Mr. Howard to trade for an upgrade. He told me that he is in another one of his evolutionary phases. Even though, Paco, found numerous Colonials, other coppas, and wilver with his trusty M6, he wanted to purchase a better machine to aid in his treasure seeking and to gain an extra edge in the field. Whether it is knocking out mineralization, or punching an extra two inches into the ground, he is always exploring new avenues to perfect his treasure addiction.

Once again, thanks, Paco, for the invite! You da man!

Re: Rare George Washington Halfpenny (Update: Info from, Don in SJ)

Thanks, M-squared, at this moment, I have the coin in my hand and am glaring at it in awe. I feel the emotion through the history of this coin. It is a great feeling!

Paco, Silver Zeus, zoyboy, and I all are looking forward to many more of these Colonial moments.

Dude that is the real Macoy and what a find!!!!

Probably couldn't beat it, but I am gonna give it my best shot.

Sweetness all the way around.

Guess your pointer kinda led you in the right direction.

I enjoyed your story.

Happy Hunting and to more good finds!

Re: Rare George Washington Halfpenny (Update: Info from, Don in SJ)

Just admire it, dont rub the date off it. LOL
You couldnt send it to PCGS they would say enviromental damage. Maybe ANACS would give it a detail grade. I would just leave it as is and enjoy. Oh yeah, dont put in your bicycle spokes either like i did my Nolan Ryan rookie. DOAAAF in a Homer Simpson like voice. HH
