You guessed wrong, 1600s.

It's a Charles II Irish Halfpenny. In the video when you flip it the reverse is upside down.

I figured you'd be pleased with a 1600s coin. :headbang:

Coppers can be fairly easy when you use a combination of inclusion and exclusion. In this case I knew right away with the style of the bust it wasn't George I, II, or III. George II faces the other way, and George I and III look nothing like that, even the counterfeits... so that was the exclusion. The inclusion was when I flipped it and seen it looked like the Harp. So it was Irish, and if it wasn't any of the Georges, it was probably earlier and that leaves James, Charles, William and William & Mary. James faces the other way so he's out, and between the remaining choices Charles is by far the best match. So it was easy.

I like how the AT PRO works ... I don't like how its made...after buying this I will Never buy another Garrett ...control box brakes off ...cam locks brake ...arm cuff brakes... coil cover cracks with the lightest tap.. I know ppl that have broke the coil cover just buy taking it off lol...and my control box had a leek in it . :sad1:

.I would have to say the AT pro is the worst made MD I know of .. the at pro is made like $hit.. ya garret has good customer service but they need to ..to make up for the crap they make....I don't want to have to call the company ever month or so because something new is wrong with it ...even my Garret backpack fell apart... :BangHead:

..sorry for the rant ... I hate Garret :angry4:

Detected with Garrett detectors for the past 19 almost 20 years and own a Pro currently and have Never had a issue with breaks anywhere. And I detect in rough conditions, desert, rocky, extreme heat. Glad I never had your sorrows with Garrett, im a very satisfied customer.

I'm happy for you that you haven't had any problems. I did some research and thousands of people are having the same problems I am so you don't have to agree with my rant .the facts are they could have done a much better job with the construction of the unit.

yeah the electronics in the machine are good..but the overall construction of the unit could be improved.the only thing they have fixed is the arm cuff....they made a new arm cuff that is reinforced... but there are many other issues that they need to take care of...I should have got a
Minelab.. my old whites metal detector was built like a tank. I guess after owning a machine that's built really well you tend to compare the new one to the old.

The Minelab is built well, I can say that.

I will agree with the comfort issue, definitely needs to be rethought. Not saying that Garrett is flawless in there builds but you also have to look at if you want superior insides and also do not want to spend 1000's on a machine comman sense dictates that there has to be cost effectiveness somewhere in the build. And I only used the word rant from your post which I found a enjoyable read. All in all I have used lots of other machines just have had better luck with Garrett. HH
