Had 45mins to kill after work on Friday, so I burnt rubber over there and hunted the area where I found the "J" nickel last week. All the pennies were found under a tree within 1ft of each other.

Not many finds, but at least 4 of the 5 were oldies. 1978 dime and 4 pennies.

Nice finds. I like finding those older Canadian pennies. They just have that old look to them. ;D

The George V's have the bronze patina which is nice, but when you hold a English George V Penny up next to it, the Canadian one pales in comparison. Old English pennies are huge and lovely.
