Yesterday I went to a site I go to when I'm bored and always find good early coins . Today I went back cause yesterday's finds were stellar for this season ! Well I get a deep 7 inch mid tone on my mx sport it was solid so I dug it and good thing I did ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1499803341.614644.jpg two large coppers ! They're toasted however so I decided to put the through electrolysis ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1499803458.669508.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1499803478.144963.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1499803498.205077.jpg two KG' s anyone know what variety they are ?

Umm...I think you just found two William III half pennies from late 1690s to early 1700. That is one heck of a spill!

Damn bro I wish you could get a date off those. Fair chance you just destroyed your oldest coin record by a lot. Possibly just found your first 1600s coin. I would hunt the hell out of that spot. Then buy a GPX and hunt it again. Then sift it. Then....well you get the idea lol. Great finds bud
