Just found my oldest coin! What is it?

[Vdubguy]

Good day everyone, it’s been a good while since I posted anything. When out for a quick hunt at a new spot and dug this coin. Pretty sure a half penny, and I think I can make out 1734 (maybe). Definitely 17** something. It is slightly larger than a quarter. I haven’t found an 1800’s coin yet and just skipped right past that. I know the pictures my not be the best, but any insight as to what it may be would be greatly appreciated. I have it soaking in olive oil right now to see if anything becomes more legible.
