1839 half dime, and a decent king George

[70monte68]

Hi all,

Took the day off and had a great hunt again. Started out really slow pulled the toasted copper. then the fattie Indian head(can't get a date off it). Shortly after that i got a decent signal on the T2(81) and out popped this old ladies wrist watch. It looks like there is some small bling in it, and will try to find a maker on it.

So now it's noon and I thought maybe I would leave, but, decided to just eat in the car and try somemore. After lunch I got the King George and the 1839 half dime.

Beautiful day and I hope others enjoyed it as well!

Thanks for looking,
Don

nice early halfdime, I'd say the copper is real.. From what I've seen some of the copper gurus on this forum say, the USA-dug George III's are almost all counterfeits and the George II's are almost all real
