Saturday's Shocker

Went out yesterday never expecting to find something like this. I dug it at 11 inches and thought I had found my first large cent. Washed it off with a little water and then I didn't know what I had. Once I got home I found it was what I believe to be a King George III. There is no visible date but if anyone has any info on this coin I would appreciate it.

Can't tell the size, but looks like a 1806/07 Halfpenny (only made this type for those years)
