1749 Farthing...and in Great Condition!!!

[romeo-1]

Got out digging for an hour today after work and went back to the site where I found the two Geo. III pennys a couple days ago. I'm getting close to a site I think but have not found it. I found the Geo. II farthing first (good start) and then the tombac button and lead piece. I'm curious what the lead piece could be...

This is the best condition Geo.II that I have found thus far in my four years of detecting!

I think I could use a taste of some Colonial candy right now. Canadian soil definitely eats at the coppers. That KG is what we all seek!

Keep the passion high!

Good looking Farthing! Should get a bit better with cleaning but will show the pitting.

the long lead piece looks like it
might be a handle off of something.

Thanks all...this coin has given me more than enough reason to go back. There is a huge span of time on this site.

Sweet 1749 farthing, Romeo!

You need to get Iron Patch off of his Colonial buttocks and invite him to that field. The site you are about to close in on is going to produce a bucket full of those coppers.
