Colonial Dig Part II Old George III Halfpenny - Ninth from this site!!!

[MonkeyBoy]

I popped out to hit the colonial site I have been digging. It is very small, so I double checked the whole area.. pulled the brass piece from a knife, spoon handle and then started moving the logs around and hunting in and under everything... it paid off!! Got that great VDI reading up in the 80s.. and dug a George III halfpenny... that makes a total of 9 pre 1800 coppers from this area!! Love it!!
