A beauty 1734 King George 2nd and a Roosie during my power-quarter-hour!

[Scrappy]

A very unexpected coin appeared on my VERY short hunt after work. I had 15 minutes so I chose a 20x20 foot area to grid. I decided to dig a very strange signal 12-32/36/39 and choppy. Honestly i thought it was an IHP. It was deep but as I dug the signal improved to 12-41. About 12" down out pops a Greenie. A quick wipe exposed the cleanest KG I've found.

1734


A Roosie and silver pendant and I was outta there. 15 minutes!

The last photo has a Half cent for size purposes, Vino.

Happy hunting
Steve

Thanks George. Just about as good of detail as one could hope for a 281 year old coin.

Lol. I lightly cleaned the coin with a toothpick and stabilized it with acetone. Here is how it'll stay

got a 1734 KG half- penny 2 years back-- check yours for the date, mine was the 4 over 3 version where the 4 is much higher above the 173. looks like yours is the same, will look at your photo close to verify. yours is indeed 4 over 3 after checking the pics. sweet find

Thx Pepp

Super nice KG. if only they all came out that nice.

If only ! I've had a couple toasted coppers in a row so this feels real nice!

 

[Scrappy]

Nice one Steve. That one had some nice detail when lost.

Much appreciated Steve. It's a funny thing- the coppers I pulled out of there have either been great, or completely roached.

15 minutes well spent great to see a cleaner kg I have a spot like that where you grid it but you always find something
