Got out today to a Baltimore Co. rec field where I have previously recovered 3 British coppers and a shoe buckle frame. Concentrated today on the one field that yielded the frame and 2 coins. Today I dug another half penny and it looks like a George I. What do you think?

Looks like it to me. Congrats.
 
Another good find. You never know what was on those rec fields before until you dig it up. I have had some nice old goodies from playing fields here in the west.

Congratulations and keep swingin.
 
Thanks Johncoho! Nice to come away with something old, particularly a coin.

Nice Copper I think you nailed the ID:icon_thumleft:
 
Awesome MCD, Congrats!!! "D"
 
I'd say George I also.
 
What the heck do you take pics with, an electron microscope?
 
You'd think, but it's just the effect of shining a light from the side of the coin and shooting in a darkened room. First saw that used on Stealthdiggers.
 
Thanks for doing the eval Smokey. I was hoping you'd weigh-in on the find.
 
Thanks Possum! One British copper for 40 clad coins dug is a ratio I like.
 
Thanks BLK HOLE! Sure was nice seeing that big green disk come out from 7 inches down.
 
Thanks CRUSADER! Figured you'd know what a George I half penny would look like.
 
Thanks Inspector. Yes, just enough detail to make the ID.
