1734 KG II Half penny

[Fast Ed]

So a new permission begrudgingly states "well go ahead but this place has been detected at least thirty times over the years". But says I "they weren't swinging one of these hi tech babies" as I proudly point to my new Deus. He says "they all said they had the best detectors money could buy". I laugh and begin right next to his front door. In less than five minutes i dig this sweetheart and a bit later a 1935 Merc and a dateless standing liberty quarter.......these pictures show the coin 1. After several peroxide baths and q tipping 2. After several more peroxide baths, q tipping and tooth picking.....i actually should have omitted the toothpicking as I inadvertently took off some green patina, yuck.....finished with a bit of vaseline.....not in bad shape actually......of course the owner was flabbergasted lol



Sorry if i screwed up the pics.....

That coin is beautiful, congratulations!

All of mine are toasty. The farm fields around here are not kind to the old coppers.
