King George II Coppa

[Colonial Zoyboy]

I got out today with Colonial Silver Zeus and Colonial KirkPA to a new site. It was pouring down rain super hard all day today, but it didn't stop the three datectateers.

This 1730s-1740s version of the King George II bust gave off a nice "M" on "Dime" reading on my White's XL Pro 6000; it was only two inches deep, folks!

Its dimensions:
-Diameter: 27.55 mm
-Weight: 8.20 grams

P.S. Buckleboy, are you still looking for a King George coppa?

 

[Colonial KirkPA]

It looks like the Colonial Zoyboy is sticking to his Colonial roots. It don't matter about quantity. A 270-year-old plus coppa is top-notch.

We must keep swinging like John "Johnny" Walter!

Nice dig Kyle. I had trouble deciding whether to dig some deepies...OR put a few miles on the Harley. It was a win win situation either way so I finally opted to do some ridin'.

The reverse is a total slug. I tumbled the coppa for about 32 minutes prior to taking pictures; I have to say that my jib is smiling away after seeing the results.

For my collection, I now have the "grand slam" in British coppas: 1700 William III coppa, King George I coppa, 1730s-40s King George II coppa, and King George III coppa.

Thanks, everyone, for the kind metal datecting replies.

Yea, nice find I would love to see that copper cleaned up, for all I know I could of shunned some thing like aside here and there. I have to keep my eyes peeled out on stuff like that.
