Well, with DST here and the wife and kids all having their own plans, I took full advantage and returned to the spot I have dubbed "Flowing Hair Field". I reworked an area that my buddy, Jim "scoured" and found a bunch of nice early coppers, but that did not mean he got it all. ;D.

In between some of the filled in holes I got a deep, broken signal and dug a King George II. It was about 10 inches down. A little while later I got a solid penny reading and dug my second of the day. This one was only 5 inches deep.

I can not make out the dates on either one, but even though they are both worn, at least I was able to ID them both. The one on the right appears to be a "Young George" variety (1729-1739).

Man that is 6 KG's all earlier than 1750 in a half acre spot. You dog I cant believe you pulled 2 more out. When you miss by an inch you miss by a mile I guess! Looks like I gotta go back AGAIN and recheck it all. Maybe theres a silver or gold KG laying around :tongue3: Nice finds!

I was just thinking that the field has produced NO KGIIIs. Other than modern coins, the only post 1750 coin was my half dime!
 

Nice Colonial Coppers! It's always a bonus when you can make clearly make out KG's portrait and Britannia and the reverse.
 

Wow, I can't imagine having a site where the newest coin was still in the 1700's. Hope to see you continue finding more there.
 

That is plain awesome :thumbsup:

I think we tapped it pretty good. I returned and only found a Barber dime and a few buttons. It may be time to move on!
 

Nice spot! Any copper in any condition makes an awesome hunt for me!
