Hi All,

These came from a short hunt the other night. I didn't have much time to hunt, but Mother Nature cut it even shorter with a good Thunderstorm. These are the four keepers of the hunt. I dug the pointed lead object first. Then I dug the 1749 George II Half Penny next it was under a big log, so I was getting a funny signal. The signal wasn't great like I said, but still good enough to dig. Next I dug part of knee buckle frame and lastly the musket ball came to light. Overall not a bad little hunt. Thanks for looking and reading.

Bubba, that 1749 George II is in fantastic condition. Ours that we dig are never in that good of condition, your soil is very kind to your coppers.
Well done,

Now that is a nice coin. Generally you don't see the pennies and half cents with such detail. Its a keeper!

Not a bad little hunt? I'd say that it was a quite spectacular hunt to say the least. :icon_thumleft:

Thanks Zodiac, I have many Large Coppers that don't look good either.
