My latest excursion with my addiction. 2 KG III colonial half pennies with no dates . The backs of both are almost toast but you can barely make out Brittania.

Also about 20 Wheat pennies which I didn't take any pictures of. Beautiful weather to detect. The KGIII's are different. The bust is a little different and the thickness on the one seems to be quite a bit thicker than the norm. Could one be a Machins Mills or a counterfeit? Beautiful weather and lots of rain made for a couple of nice hunts. Thanks for looking and happy hunting.

Very nice hunt well done on the coppers and buttons. Congrats
I'd probably would of skipped a beat if I had just seen a wee edge of that token sticking out of a clump.
 
Cool finds! I like to look at the wheaties, too, so go ahead and post them. Thanks for sharing with us!
 
Nice blow hole button. You don't see those too often!
 
Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 
Great finds...Thanks!
 
Nice blow hole button. You don't see those too often!

Ditto - I've dug my share of old buttons over the years, but only one with blowholes for whatever reason. Good finds. Keep digging!
 
Really nice coins and buttons. Congrats.

That is a solid hunt, I’d be going back for sure. Great job!!
