I found this KG III Half penny out in the fields behind my house this morning! I think it's a 1772/73. My area was settled around that time, maybe slightly earlier. I found a 1749 KG II back in the summer. Also found a musketball and harmonica reeds. Still has some decent detail on the front, but my pics suck and really do it no justice.

First pic is not my coin, just used for comparison.
