1st Outing in 2023- Three Half Pennies

[Silvermonkey]

A New Year...a new location out in the woods. Slow going at first with a few ox shoes, shell casings and a bunch of lead. Then hit a strong signal with a 90 VDI. Out popped a large cent, and then two more! Nothing like a 18th century pocket spill.



Still doing some cleaning, but these coins all appear to be British half pennies...looks like a KG 2 and two KG 3's...not 100% sure at this point.



Not a bad way to start the new year!

Nice coins to find! I agree that they are 2 KG IIIs and one KG II. The dates are not discernible but their monarch puts them in a fairly small date range. They are definitely colonial coinage. One or more could be counterfeit. Counterfeits of these halfpennies were common and are as interesting as official coinage.
