Dug this in the same spot I have dug three LC. The condition is very poor. No detail on other side. It appears to be a Connecticut or Vermont or possibly counterfeit image.jpg . Edit: This coin is most likely a dateless KG II

I can't identify it but I do like it.

Congrats on a cool find.

Kinda' looks a bit like this British coin:

I am now pretty confident that it is a KG II based on comparisons to photos such as this one and the little bit of detail I can make out on mine. Sweet. It can now go along side my 1724 KG I found walking along a creek as a youth. Pic of what I think my coin is

It's usually easy to tell if you post a good clear shot of the bust side. Just seeing the reverse all George IIs look the same, as does 18th century George III.
