I believe the 3rd copper is half of a KG II?
The first spot today was a place that had teased about holding older goodies by previously yielding a 3 cent silver, couple seated times, and some Barbers. As always, this place seems to spit out IHCs like they're going out of style, and at least 5 came out there (could be 6 but I don't recall). Also got a 1906 V Nickel. Later into the hunt got a later-date large cent! Unfortunately can't get a date, but at least it can be identified.
The second spot was pretty slow to start and eventually got a couple of wheat cents, and one or two IHCs. As it was getting dark I got a higher tone and was expecting maybe a wheat cent. But, another copper comes out! I thought it was too thin to be a large cent, but upon getting it home, it was an 1801 Draped Bust!!
A few minutes later, another high tone comes through. But, what pops out is half a copper? Fairly certain it's half of a King George II copper. There is a head outline on the obverse, and what looks like the standard reverse design with the line at the bottom. What do you guys think? Thanks for looking!
