I dug this King George II half penny in a stone wall enclosed area in the woods this past Thursday. The closest old home site that I am aware of is probably a couple hundred yards away. The date is gone, but I believe this is the older head version, so it is circa 1740 - 1754. It is in rough and delicate shape, but I am really glad to have dug it regardless. Good luck out there and happy hunting.

Thanks. You still have time, as it is relatively mild around here. Must be tough leaving the warm Florida sunshine though.
