1739 George II Half Penny, 17?? George II Half Penny & A Few Other Things

[Bubba65]

This post his for two hunts I had this past Sunday and Monday. A total of 5 hours total was spent between the two days. I dug a good amount of iron both days and on Sunday the only keepers was part of a buckle, a round lead piece and what ended up being the best shape British Copper I have ever dug it is the 1739 one. You don't need any magnification at all to see the date and all the lettering and I don't have great eyes at all. Monday I got the musket ball, piece of a pewter utensil handle and the other King George II Copper. I can't get a date off of that one but some detail is still left. Thanks for reading and looking. Oh I forgot the weights diameters of the Coppers the unknown date one is 8.6grams and 27mm diameter and the 1739 is 9.0 grams and 28.5 mm in diameter.

Those 1700 coins are adding up for you! The 1739 really has pretty good details.

Yes they sure are Don, it was nice to see 1700's silver pop out the ground last week too.

NICE! My oldest is a 1754 you got me beat haha. That is gorgeous! I gotta know did you scream when you saw the date on it?

Hey Beeps thanks for the good words, my oldest is 1710 so far. Nope I didn't scream just being able to read the old copper was a nice thing,

It looks like you found yourself a great old site to work Bubba. Nice finds. Keep working it. There's more there. I want to see you pull out some silver.

Thanks Don I been working this spot for years it is quite large, it already has given up silver in the past years and just last week it gave up more silver in this post http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/today-s-finds/374976-1775-spanish-half-real-smal-axe-head.html
