Found these finds at a new spot I tried out. Amazing soil helped keep these coins looking good.
My first KG II half penny in fine condition. 1737. 1890 Indian a Tombac and a cross medallion to add. I hope their is some coins left in this field.

Amazing. Those look better than most of the wheats I find.
 

Nice coin! I wonder what a half-penny would buy back in 1737? Gary
 

Congrats....beautiful condition on those coins. I want to be buried in that soil.....I'll look better than I do right now in a couple years !!
 

In great condition - congrats !
 

Wow! The condition of these coins leaves me speechless! :o

Do you think if I showed these to my wife that it would have the same affect... but would last longer? :laughing7:
